Water Conservation in Grenada
Water scarcity is the next big frontier. As climate change increases year-round temperatures (and thus evaporation) and disrupts our regular rainfall patterns (with changes in seasonal rain, more severe droughts, and unpredictable flooding), water resources may become increasingly rare. So what can we as citizens do to conserve water and ensure that this essential resource continues to meet our needs?
Some simple measures you can take are:
Turn off the tap when not in use, including while washing dishes, showering, or brushing your teeth
Use a watering can instead of a hose to water plants
Use a bucket instead of a hose to clean vehicles
Opt for a dual-flush toilet, which have low and high flush settings
Install a faucet aerator or low-flow shower head
Reuse fallen ice to water indoor plants
Reuse sink graywater to water garden plants
These resources were created and are kindly shared by the Climate-Resilient Water Sector in Grenada (G-CREWS) project. For more information on the project, check out their Facebook page.
