Imbalela, ungcoliseko, kunye nokwanda kwabantu kwihlabathi liphela kuye kwabangela uxinzelelo ekufumanekeni kwezixhobo ezixabisekileyo kwihlabathi: amanzi acocekileyo. Nangona abanini bezindlu benokufakaiinkqubo zokucoca amanziUkuze bazise amanzi ahlaziyayo ahluziweyo kusapho lwabo, amanzi acocekileyo anqongophele.

Ngethamsanqa kukho iindlela ezininzi wena nosapho lwakho eninokusebenzisa ngazo amanzi ekhayeni lenu nize nenze amanzi enu ahambe phambili ngolawulo lwamanzi amdaka ngendlela eyiyo. Ukusebenzisa amanzi amancinci kuya kunciphisa iindleko zakho zenyanga kwaye kukuncede ulungelelane neemeko zembalela eziqheleke kakhulu kwiindawo ezithile zase-United States. Nazi iindlela esizithandayo zokusebenzisa amanzi kwakhona endlwini.

Qokelela Amanzi

Okokuqala, ungafaka iinkqubo ezilula zokuqokelela amanzi amdaka, okanye "amanzi amdaka," ekhayeni. Amanzi amdaka ngamanzi asetyenziswa kancinci angakhange adibane nendle, okanye amanzi angengawo angasese. Amanzi amdaka avela kwizinki, oomatshini bokuhlamba impahla, nakwiishawa. Anokuba namafutha, iimveliso zokucoca, ukungcola, okanye iziqwenga zokutya.

Qokelela amanzi amdaka ukuze uwasebenzise kwakhona nangayiphi na (okanye yonke) kwezi zilandelayo:

• Ibhakethi yeshawa — Enye yezona ndlela zilula zokubamba amanzi ekhaya: Gcina ibhakethi kufutshane nomsele wakho weshawa uze uyivumele igcwale ngamanzi njengoko ulinde amanzi ukuba afudumale. Uza kuqokelela amanzi amaninzi ngendlela emangalisayo kwishawa nganye!
• I-Rain barrel — I-rain barrel ingaba yinkqubo yenyathelo elinye lokubeka i-rain barrel enkulu phantsi kombhobho wakho okanye inkqubo ebandakanyekayo yokufaka inkqubo yokubamba amanzi enzima. Xa imvula ina uya kuba namanzi amaninzi okuphinda uwasebenzise.

• Inkqubo yamanzi amdaka — Phakamisa ukuphinda usebenzise amanzi akho uye kwinqanaba elilandelayo ngokufaka inkqubo yamanzi amdaka. Ezi nkqubo zijika amanzi kwiindawo ezifana nomsele wakho weshawa ukuze asetyenziswe kwakhona, mhlawumbi ukuze zizalise itanki yakho yendlu yangasese. Ukutshintsha indlela yokuhlamba okanye amanzi okuhlamba impahla ukuze asetyenziswe kwakhona kuya kukunika unikezelo oluqhubekayo lwamanzi asetyenzisiweyo.

Indlela yokusebenzisa amanzi kwakhona

Ngoku unawo onke la manzi amdaka agqithisileyo kunye namanzi asetyenzisiweyo — nantsi indlela yokuwasebenzisa kakuhle.

• Nkcenkceshela izityalo — Sebenzisa amanzi akho owaqokelelweyo ukunkcenkceshela izityalo ezisezimbizaneni, unkcenkceshele ingca yakho, kwaye unike ubomi obuluhlaza bakho.
• Hlamba indlu yakho yangasese — Amanzi angwevu angafakwa okanye afakwe kwi-tank yakho yangasese ukuze kuncitshiswe ukusetyenziswa kwamanzi. Beka isitena ngaphakathi kwi-tank yakho yangasese ukuze wonge amanzi amaninzi!

Qala Ngamanzi Acocekileyo

Ukuba amanzi asekhaya lakho acociwe ukuze asuse izinto ezingcolisayo ezifanaiintsimbi ezinzimakwayeiintsholongwaneUngaqiniseka ngakumbi ukuba amanzi akho aphinde asetyenziswa akhuselekile ukuwasebenzisa ukunkcenkceshela izityalo neminye imisebenzi ejikeleze indlu. Ukusebenzisa amanzi kwakhona endlwini yindlela entle yokukhuthaza ukongiwa kwamanzi nokugcina amanzi ethu kawonke-wonke ecocekile kangangoko.
