2. Be sure to have your pipes fixed for leaks.
3. Every drop counts, so learn to reuse water by putting a water basin in the sink every time you rinse something. The water can be reused by depositing in the garden, or flushing the toilet, or cleaning your car and windows.
4. Shorten your showers to 5 minutes or less. You may use a timer for help.
5. Always run your dishwasher or washing machine on full loads.
6. Water garden plants early morning using a watering can instead of a hose.
7. Install rain barrels to capture rainwater. Don’t forget to cover the barrels to keep away mosquitoes.
8. Do not let the faucet run the whole time while you wash dishes by hand or clean vegetables. Fill up a bowl or sink with clean water.
9. Invest in water-efficient fixtures like showerheads, low-flow toilets, dishwashers, etc.
10. Fill a bottle or jug with drinking water and let it cool inside the fridge.
