Water is the basic necessity of human life, and there is no survival without it. You can save water by keeping your taps closed, using a bucket instead of a shower, washing cars when needed, and wearing fabrics that require less water while growing. From organic bed covers to towels, there are multiple products. This guide will help you learn how to celebrate Water Day on March 22 by switching to specific fabrics.  

1. If you look around, you will need water for everything - cooking, eating, bathing, and, most importantly, growing crops. What you wear and use also requires water to be produced. You can contribute to this marathon of saving water by using products such as organic bed sheets, blankets, coasters, and more made using low water footprint fabrics. To help reduce the water impact, here is a list of materials requiring fewer water footprints than regular fabrics.

Bamboo

1. It is one of the grass forms that have very minimal growing requirements. Bamboo needs much less water than cotton and can be produced without pesticides. Since it emits more than 35% oxygen in the environment, it is one of the most sustained materials. You can easily use products made of bamboo fibre, such as face towels, that can absorb 40% more moisture than other fabrics.

Hemp Fibre

It is one of the oldest known fabrics in human history, with a straightforward cultivation process. Hemp can grow in any climate and weather condition, often known as a pioneer plant or a wonder crop. It can grow in less than 70 days and needs minimal water for irrigation. Its cultivation enriches the soil, making it great for growing other crops.

1. You can use products such as kitchen towels or even aprons made using hemp. They are soft, biodegradable, and hypoallergenic, making them a perfect replacement for other fabrics.

Linen

1. Linen is derived from flax plants requiring minimum water intake, thus making it a low water footprint plant. Linen does not require chemical interference and can grow in bad soil conditions. You can use products made of organic linen, such as duvet sets, instead of regular ones. Linen products will also need less water when washing than cotton or other fabrics.

Organic Cotton

Cotton is one crop that requires a lot of water and is also considered one of the most unsustainable materials. But people who love cotton can not live without wearing or using them. Since cotton started to grow organically, it has become a popular alternative to standard cotton. 

1. Organically grown cotton requires 88% less water than the normal one. Various products use organically grown cotton, such as face towels, bed sheets, blankets, duvet sets, and throws.
