WASH Booklet for Children

To conserve water, remember the 3-Rs: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.

• Reduce: This means using less water. Turn off taps when not in use. Use a bucket instead of a hose to wash your car or water the plants. Reducing water use helps ensure that there is enough for everyone.

• Reuse: Reusing water means using the same water more than once. For example, water used for washing vegetables can be used to water plants. This is a simple way to save water at home.

• Recycle: Recycling water means treating wastewater so it can be used again. This is more common in industries but can also be done at home by using simple water filtration techniques.

If we all follow the 3 Rs of water conservation, we can save a lot of water and make sure that it is available for everyone who needs it. Let’s start today by practising these easy steps to save water!
