Question 4

Read the article on water conservation.

Residents in several states in Malaysia no longer need to suffer the inconvenience of water
rationing beginning today. The rationing exercise would end today due to the increase of water
level in the dam. Although the water rationing is over, the crisis persists. Hence, water
conservation is still very important.
Residents are advised not to waste water or water rationing will be back quicker than they
know it. There are some simple ways to conserve water that will benefit you and those in your
community, now and in the future.
One of the ways to conserve water is by harvesting rainwater. The accumulation and storage
of rainwater can help you to reduce your dependence on water mains. Besides that, you do not
need to water your lawn during the current wet spell. Avoid using a hose to wash cars or clean the
porch.
Do you know that a lot of water that is wasted on a day-to-day basis is caused by the overuse
of washing machines? In order to reduce the problem, avoid putting half a load of washing into
the machine. Instead, set a day for laundry and make sure you put a full load of dirty washing to
maximise water usage.
Besides that, you should fix leaks in taps or in the household plumbing system. Little drops of
water can add up to a big amount of wastage. Even taking shorter showers will save gallons of
water each year. Encourage others in your household to take shorter showers as well. Do not flush
the toilet unnecessarily. Lastly, for those who own a dishwasher at home, use it only when it is
loaded to its full capacity. This practice can save hundreds of gallons of water each month and
lower your monthly bill too.
Get into the habit of conserving water. Everyone in the family should be aware of its
importance. Parents are encouraged to spend some time teaching their children some of the simple
water-saving methods around the home which can make a big difference.

Read the article carefully and answer questions (a) (i).
