Here are a few tips on saving water, courtesy the YWCA Save Bangalore Movement, and Lions Club of Bangalore Orchards:
*Water lawns and gardens during the coolest part of the day
* Wash vehicles with a bucket of water and sponge instead of a hose which uses 400 litres of water. A bucket saves 300 lt of water
* Collect rainwater in large tubs and use it to water plants
* Reuse water whenever possible
* Never flush garbage down a toilet. It will ultimately end up in our water, streams and rivers
