Water Conservation Infographic

Option 2

Why and how should we conserve water now to ensure that we can meet future needs? Create an infographic to show your water conservation recommendations for how we can adjust our water use to meet growing demands. Water conservation is important because it keeps water clean and pure and conserves the environment. It is also important because the supply of water is not endless. 

In the Kitchen

only run the dishwasher with a full load

scrape your dishes clean instead of rinsing them before washing

use your garbage disposal sparingly

place a stopper in the sink to wash pots and pans, rather than turning on faucet each time a rinse is needed

In the Bathroom

when brushing your teeth, turn off the faucet until it is time to rinse

install low-flow shower heads

take showers instead of baths; showers with low-flow shower heads often use less water than baths

use a toilet tank displacement device; these devices will reduce the volume of water in the tank but still provide enough water for flushing

In the Laundry

wash only a full load when using an automatic washing machine

use the lowest possible water level setting on the washing machine

Outdoors

water lawns early in the morning or late at night to avoid evaporation

avoid watering lawns in windy weather

use drip irrigation systems for bedded plants, trees, or shrubs

use a broom rather than the hose to "sweep" walks and driveways

use a bucket of soapy water to wash your car and save the hose for rinsing

This poster is an appropriate example for water conservation because it has equal amounts of graphics icons and written information.

This information graphic attracts people by making them notice the large numbers and eye-catching graphic designs. The great thing about the text is that it is short and understandable.

This info graphic has a lot of information and can't be understood correctly because of the cluster

Inspired by the other three water conservation info graphics, I have illustrated an info graphic concluding that the many ways to save water, organizations that recommend it, and what would happen if we didn't save water.
