Water Shortage
It is reported that water use will be limited in some areas as average temperature continues to rise. It has not rained for a long time in Taiwan, and alarm bells have been going off for water reservoirs. Droughts usually occur during the summertime. Thus, saving water is very important for us, since this is the time of year when people have to use water frequently. We should conserve water use in order to past this water shortage crisis. There are some tips we can do during a drought. First, thinking before you turn on a tap or take a bath. For example, do not waste running water while waiting for it to get hot, you can collect it and use it to flush the toilet. Another way to conserve water is to re-use the greywater and rainwater. We can use them for flushing toilets, washing cars and watering plants. It can save us water and money efficiently.
