#WalangTubig? Now what? Let's take this almost 3-month challenge (6 to 20 hours of service water interruption daily) into opportunity!
Wear light & quick dry clothes
- Clothes that are heavy consume more of your patience, effort, detergent, and of course water!
- Just think of it this way -- "Summer came early, you are a trendsetter!"
Lessen the dishes to wash
- Refill drinking water instead of using multiple small drinking glasses.
- Be strict on your diet. (Eat twice a day. 😋 Just kidding!)
- Use safe and easy to wash food containers instead of those plastic greasy containers.
Use hand sanitizer or dry cleaning spray

- By using these instead of soap & water, you can stretch your water supply a little further.
Strategize
- Don't deal with this alone! Plan with your family. Schedule & assign a member per day or week who will check the water supply, who will buy drinking water, and who will fetch and store water to the containers.
- Remember your responsibility, Taking short showers and once-a-day bath doesn't hurt. You can do it!
Stay calm and cool!
- When falling in line to fetch water, be more considerate and check your attitude especially when the water supplier and the government is so irritating. Patience is really needed here, don't let this bad situation get you and ruin your "cool" reputation.
- Remember your responsibility, Taking short showers and once-a-day bath doesn't hurt. You can do it!
- Consider yourself #blessed. Some communities in the Philippines have been experiencing water interruption for many years now. Some don't even have access to clean drinking water. More so, some families and children don't have access to clean drinking water because they are in the middle of crisis/disaster. Imagine, it is really difficult but they are still surviving. 😢
Did you know?
This March 22, 2019 is the #WorldWaterDay. What a perfect time to really learn and discuss the water crisis not only in the country but also all over the globe.
"World Water Day tries to remind people about the significance of fresh water and to promote sustainability for fresh water resources' management. It’s a day to celebrate water. It’s a day to prepare for how we manage water in the future."
Each year World Water Day highlights a specific aspect of freshwater. For 2019 this is: 'Leaving no one behind'.

At a time of immense global challenges – poverty, inequalities, natural disasters, humanitarian crises and forced displacement – the 2019 edition of World Water Day looks at why people have been left behind and how access to water and sanitation and sustainable water management can be drivers of change.
Water for all implies that also elderly, disabled, marginalized and poor people get access to clean drinking water and proper sanitation, as is meant with universal access in Sustainable Development Goals #6.1 and 6.2." - an excerpt from www.unwater.org/worldwaterday.
PERFECT TIMING! WE CAN ALL RELATE!
Learn and engage our friends and loved ones with information and stories about the reality of the water crisis and how it affects every aspect of our society. For more information, read more here: https://www.worldwaterday.org/

Be consistent and include these as part of your daily bread. Ask every member of your family (at least) to support you and do the same. Like a ripple effect, at least 5/10 ratio of people has a bigger impact than 2/10 ratio of saving mother earth.
