What are some tips to help conserve water?

Question

I live in the southeast and we are in a water shortage. What are some useful tips to conserve my water?

Answer 1

- Turn on the shower only when rinsing, do not leave the shower the entire time you're in the bathroom.

- Use a bucket of water when cleaning your car instead of a hose.

- lower the level of the buoy inside your toilet so it uses less water.

- fix all dripping faucets.

- bath only few times a week.  Depending if you really get dirty (e.g. working in a construction yard) a day.

- Otherwise, just let nature run through it's course.  technically, the volume of water ll over the planet never disappears or increases.

Answer 2

If it's yellow, let it mellow...  If it's brown, flush it down...

Answer 3

dont waste water, when ur done with water then turn it off

and any extra water then you feed to the plants or ur animals

Answer 4

Some may think it is gross...but dont flush the toilet everytime if it is only a pee....especially if there is only you in the house...just put the lid down and flush every few times.

Answer 5

To quote an old ad: "When it's yellow, let in mellow.  When it's brown, flush it down."

Answer 6

Try some small changes. Shorter showers with the reduced flow heads. Turn off the faucet when brushing your teeth. Hand wash dishes instead of using a dishwasher. If you want to wash your car go to a car wash that recycles and reuses their water.

If you pee let it be, if it's brown then flush it down.
