WAYS TO CONSERVE WATER IN A KITCHEN

- Plan ahead and thaw frozen foods overnight in the refrigerator rather than under running

water. Just right before you sleep take the frozen foods out from the freezer and put it in

the fridge. When you wake up take the frozen foods out form the fridge and the foods will

be already defrosted. This could help you to save a lot of water and this means that yourwaterbill will not be expensive.

- Another way to conserve water int he kitchen is the washing machine. Washing machine

uses a lot of water so don't just throw few clothes into the washing machine and wash it. It

waste water and your money. So always run full loads and also select the short cycle option.

It can reduce the water consumption in half.

- If you wash dishes by hand, wash them right after you use them that way the food doesn't harden and you can wash dishes with less water. It is a lot easier to wash them this way. Program the dishwasher cycles for the fewest washes and rinses. It can save water. Plan ahead to use the fewest dishes you can for eating and cooking.Less dishes= less loads= less water usage.

- Rising your fruits and vegetables yourself is the cheapest and the best way to save water. If you wash a head of lettuce all at once and then wrap it in a thin kitchen towel or paper towel, you will actually save water instead of washing the lettuce every time you make a salad or have a sandwich, literally at times piece by piece. An additional benefit is that you know everything will be clean so you can just eat it right away. You can dry them in your new dish rack, or you can wrap them in a towel to absorb any leftover water to avoid them getting mushy in the bag you bought them in.
