D) All of the above

Answer 1

Hint: Water conservation is the practice of utilising water efficiently in order to reduce waste. Water conservation is crucial, according to FreshWater Watch, because fresh, clean water is a limited and expensive resource. You're undoubtedly already aware of the financial penalties of poor water use as a homeowner. The ecosystem — and our wallets — both depend on the conservation of this natural resource.

Complete answer:
Toilets, washing machines, showers, baths, faucets, and leaks account for the majority of household water use, but conserving water is rather simple. These water-saving suggestions will help you start conserving water in your home:
- When brushing your teeth, turn off the faucet to save 6 litres of water per minute. Reduce the amount of water consumed in each flush by installing a cistern displacement mechanism in your toilet cistern.
- Mulching your plants (with bark chips, thick compost, or straw) and watering early and late in the day will limit evaporation and save water.
- If you don't have a high-efficiency toilet, try filling your tank with something like a brick to absorb some of the water.
- Doing laundry accounts for 15-40% of all water used in the home. Make sure your machine's settings are adjusted to the right load size to save water.
- When comparing top-load vs. front-load washing machines, front-loading washers consume less water.
- Water your lawn or garden early in the morning or late in the evening, when the sun isn't as scorching, so the water lasts longer.
- During a 10-minute shower, a low-flow showerhead can save 15 gallons of water.

Therefore the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note: Make sure each cycle in your dishwasher or washing machine is completely loaded. Running complete cycles saves water since these appliances are designed to fill to a particular level, and having more dishes or clothes reduces the quantity of water used per cycle. This guarantees that each run of your appliances uses the least amount of energy and water possible.
