Water conservation is an issue that has gained foremost importance over the last few years. The main reason for this is that there is a rapid and mass depletion of this valuable and very precious resource. This is a resource, which we just cannot afford to exhaust, because this is a resource that we need for our every day existence and activities that include washing, bathing, and dinking purposes. Before we can campaign for water conservation on a mass scale it is essential to understand that water conservation to be effective on this scale must be carried out and implemented at a family level. The family can only carry out the process of the degree to which water conservation should be implemented at the family level after a due assessment of the current use of available water. For this very purpose an audit regarding water conservation has been formulated. This audit is known as Family Water Audit.

Topics covered by the Audit

The questions that are asked by this audit include whether you use your shower for long periods of time, how often you use your bathtub, and whether your flush is outfitted with an adequate water saving device. The other questions asked also indicate towards the degree to which you make a conscious effort to save water. These may include questions regarding the frequency of your car washing exercise, gardening habits, and cleaning methods for your house and kitchen activities that include the use of water. All these questions have been generated with one sole purpose in mind. This purpose is to make the person aware of the amount of water that they are consuming in a day and to make them conscious of the area where they are misutilizing their water resource and inculcate a habit of water conservation within them.
These family water audits are available online. The results and strategies of these audits are available almost instantaneously over the Internet.
