How to Conserve Water | National Geographic 

The U.S could face a water shortage in a little over 50 years. How are you practicing water conservation?

How to conserve water: close the tap when you are not using it. And also, Stop dumping Toxic Material to lakes and rivers. It decreases the world's freshwater percentage and raises the world's non-drinkable water supply percentage

Low-key an advertisement. Logic: if you like the enviornment use this detergent. Okay. But how is that detergent eco friendly? What are other ways to reduce water intake?

I love water

The sad thing is, there are people who think there is no such thing as wasting water.

Another tip is while you're waiting for the water to warm up before a shower collect the clean cold water in a bucket and use it to water your garden/plants or to even flush the toilet.

i think its kinda stupid that people rinse their dishes and then put it in the dishwasher.. why dont just give it a soap-sponge moment after rinsing it..

I need to be on that team. To do things that people neglect in daily life.

Thank you for trying to conserve my element...water...I appreciate it.

I hope more people will see this video and change their current status of water use. Water resources are precious and scarce. I hope the public can raise their awareness of water conservation and strengthen water resources protection.

We all needs to conserve water 💦.

Fantastic ☺️

amazing

Fantastic ideas 😊

If you care about water conservation and still eat meat, you need to reevaluate yourself.

Being in a country like India, the practices they adopt seem almost obvious with reusing greywater where we have been doing that for some time now. We rarely use dishwashers. Btw, this is not to boast but I do feel that a country like US needs to take tips from semi-arid countries and stop reinventing the wheel.

Woah I’m here when it was posted 1 minute ago, noice

Great

Hello National Geographic National Geographic you best channel in world !!!! From Uzbekistan

WOW lOVE

💚💚💚 NOTHING without WATER.

If u can make these kind of videos in the Himalayas it would be awesome!!

Nice

Excellent Video. N. G. 💐💐🇮🇳💐💐

Thank you N.G

Save Our Planet

Sometimes automatic faucets waste more water than they save when they're activated when someone walks by one...and you could utilize the ocean to put out fires, conserving the freshwater for showers and filtering to a potable, again, water run off can be used for watering lawns, reclaimed water should never be drunk

The sad thing is that solutions typically aren't sought until AFTER something bad happens. It wouldn't surprise me that it might take a full year or decade of extreme water shortages before anything "is done", by which it will very likely be far too late. If change is to happen, it'll have to happen with you and me. After all, awareness of a problem is the first step towards fixing it.

Water is the most essential & commonly available natural resource; conservation 🌊🌀 of water helps eliminate chances of water scarcity & ecological hazard.

👌👌👌🌹🌹🌹 Eid mubarak

👍 Good friend 🙂 💫 👍

Design and build more energy efficient desalination water pumping plants.

Using the shower water to flush toilets is a genius idea . I want more and more people to promote it

Easy fix, drill a hole from the ocean to Death Valley. The height decline partly helps with the pressure needed for the desalination.

Super

I remember the buttons that read, "Save water, shower with a friend".

❤️✨

Clean water is just not important or a necessity where there is a problem of water but throughout the world, people who don't get water or who get water in abundance should know that clean water can easily turn into a luxury item if they waste it. Though people can still afford luxury but still the purification of water requires a lot of other resources which are again needed to be conserved so water needs to be saved wherever you live. Use different ways to conserve water. Use bucket instead of that shower. You really are helping people and the environment.

The whole video shows somerhing everyone has seen bevore and we are still impresed that is nature

Hi

The guy looks like a younger Bert the Machine

Canada be like: I don’t need water. I need the fricken maple syrup!

If the term water conservation means available clean drinking water, then the industries which consume huge amounts of clean water while contributing large amounts of contamination back into the water supply need to change. While things like water saving shower heads and scraping plates before rinsing before they go into a dishwasher and using water reduction in consumption appliances, washing machines are good practices, if it's just us at the household level trying to be mindful, it's still only part of the whole picture.

Let's talk about how on brand they are in this video, camp, arcteryx, etc.

We have to conserving water 💧

irrigation+rainfall = evaporation + transpiration + runoff + leaching Which one of these processes do Farmers really have control over during the growing season? If you have the ability to irrigate your sandy soils and water is cheap and plentiful, then you are fortunate and have some control on the left side of the equation. If you do not have irrigation, you must look at the factors on the right side of the equation to see what can be controlled or minimized to benefit your crop. Evaporation from the soil surface can be reduced with mulch or leaving crop residue on the soil surface. Transpiration is a function of the plant leaf surface area and the weather. Runoff is or should be minimal in sandy textured soils with high percolation rates. This leaves the leaching of water out of the root zone as the #1 controllable loss of moisture to your crop. Interrupting the downward movement of moisture in your soil by installing a "smart" barrier can greatly reduce the leaching of water and nutrients. SWRT subsurface membranes detain/retain up to 90% of irrigation or rainfall in the root zone for crop use by disrupting the gravitational movement of water in the soil while still allowing excess water to percolate and do not create anaerobic soil conditions.

What would you do if Canada turned the tap off ?

We are SOOO lucky here in Canada as far as trees & fresh water sources go. Ok, we are spoilt. I don't know that we truly appreciate that fact as we should. I have never liked wasteful dishwashers btw. 🇨🇦☘️

How cleaning salt water?

Use the dishwasher and save water

Colorado gets more snow than Alaska??!!!

Dishwasher? What is that?

Which of the following ways should I use to water my plants and lawn to conserve the most water? 1. Hose 2. Watering can 3. Sprinkler

Swimming pools are major cause.

50 years? Might wanna start desalinating the oceans asap, we're having water shortages around the world right now. I give us 5 years.

Grandma approved

An Above-average CC named CC

Apperently ppl haven't heard of desalination. Being 40% of the population lives near the ocean I'm pretty sure thier a solution thier.

Dishwasher habits saving water? You know how much H2O *the industry* consumes? NATG, you became a parody of activism and awareness.

Glad I own a waterless car wash business

Put bottles in your toilet tank filled with sand, it saves water when flushing.

If we constructed a dame in particular areas , then it will be possible to control on water.

2:17 That's the cleanest "dirty" dish I've ever seen. If you're going to scold us for rinsing, then at least show us an actual dirty dish to make your point.

1. Do NOT use a dishwasher, hand wash everything 2.Only shower, do NOT have a bath 3. Make sure your boiler is the most energy-efficient one there is and switch it off when not in use 4. Mostly use cold water

ربنا لا إله إلا أنت سبحانك ظلمنا أنفسنا ظلمآ كثيرآ وإن لم تغفر لنا وترحمنا لنكونن من الخاسرين ... سبحانك ربنا تباركت وتعاليت آمنا فقنا عذاب النار. اللهم صل وسلم وبارك عليك يا سيدنا يا محمد يا رسول الله .

my sister can fill a basin full of water by washing only a milk bottle

Now, let's just not use finish and bicarb instead.

Tell us how much the coal industry uses.

HEY I DRINK THAT HA I DRINK WATER

Early

Don't drink...

Nice videoooooooOOOO 📹

Thanks a lot. Great & Smart ideas to reuse shower water into toilet flushing. By the way: Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him saw Saad abluting and asked him: "Why this extravagance, Saad!?". He replied: Is there extravagance in water!?. Prophet Muhammad answered: "Yes, even if you were on a running river". Sources/References: Narrated by Ahmad (6768) and Ibn Majah (419) from Abdullah Ibn Amro Ibn Alaass. Shaykh Ahmad Shakir and others said: Its chain of narrators is "Authentic". قال الشيخ أحمد شاكر وغيره : إسناده صحيح روى الإمام أحمد (6768) وابن ماجة(419) عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رضي الله عنهما (أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِسَعْدٍ وَهُوَ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَقَالَ : مَا هَذَا السَّرَفُ يَا سَعْدُ ؟ قَالَ : أَفِي الْوُضُوءِ سَرَفٌ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ عَلَى نَهْرٍ جَارٍ) .

Hey net geo love from india 🇮🇳

No comment about the water usage in the meat and dairy industry when they're the responsible for the most part of it. So you think shower and dish washers are the problem? You are totally missing the point about the water problem.

First Comment. But lets do something about it.

Whether you "conserve" it or "waste" it, the amount of water in the world is constant (or nearly so). Therefore I use as much as a want. I even keep the faucet running when I brush my teeth.

*HI*

North Pakistan best in geographically in world.

just wash dishes by hand instead of using a dishwasher especially if there is 2 people in a house

We could also save a lot of water just by going plant based eating, as the animal agriculture industry takes up 1/3 of all drinkable water on this planet.

Make water really expensive lie that water is almost gone

who is here just because our mom told us to.

after seeing NG the heaven exist and the heaven is THE EARTH🌴🌳🌠💞⛄🌅🐦🐘🐨🐒

Stop making these videos 😂 2.08 billion gallons of water per day for golf course …. Rich people can waste water for entertainment. Why do ordinary people like us still have to save water .

💦

Dont drink water, lol

Someone tell China there is a shortage of freshwater.

Erika💀 Listen to the German empire anthem names "Erika”

I had such high hopes with this video NG and you let me down again... I was surprised you mentioned nothing about buying used instead of new and eating less meat and dairy. At the end I see that it's sponsored by the industry giant whose products we should be actually boycotting. BIG dislike from me
