Water is domestically misused for various activities as: 

1. Liberal flushing of toilets. 

2. Brushing teeth with full speed tap running. 

3. Cleaning floors by opening the tap. 

4. Use of bath tubs and showers for bathing. 

5. Washing utensils and clothes directly by keeping the tap running. 

6. Liberal use of water in washing vegetables and other accessories.

Suggestions to check misuse of water at domestic level: 

1. Use a mug of water rather than running tap while brushing teeth. 

2. Use of mugs and buckets for bathing instead of bath tubs and shower. 

3. Use of small bucket of water for toilets rather than opening flush every time. 

4. Wash or wipe the vehicle by holding water in the bucket instead of using pipe. 

5. Recycle kitchen and bathroom water and use it for garden. 

6. Plant the saplings in the garden, which need less water. 

7. Avoid the culture of having lawns because grass needs more water for maintenance. 

8. Mop the floor instead of washing it. 

9. Use a mug of water to shave. 

10.Do not use a fresh tumbler every time to drink water. 

11.Do not wash hands under running water. 

12.Wash vegetables, fruits etc. in a water filled bucket rather than under the running tap. 

13.Repair the leakage if any; without delay. 

14.Collect the rooftop rain water in a tank or let it percolate underground through pipes.
