Sir,
The news '16 litres of water goes waste while you brush your teeth' (DH March 23) is shocking. We allow water to run continuously while brushing, washing hands etc. To prevent this, tap which doesn't allow continuous run of water should be used. Using four litres of water to flush some 500 ml urine should also be avoided. Using mugs and buckets, still prevalent in many houses, is the best to conserve water. Children should be educated on the economic ways of using water in daily use.
