How to save water in the lab

*Replace single-pass cooling: For equipment that requires cooling, transition to closed-loop or recirculating systems instead of single-pass water systems.

*Check for leaks: Conduct a monthly check for any water leaks in equipment or faucets and repair them promptly.

*Consolidate tasks: Group experiments or cleaning tasks that require water together to minimize the number of times you need to use water.
