Do you have a tip you'd like to add? * turn off the water while you brush your teeth * collect the water that runs while you're running water through to get to the hot water for washing or bathing -- that cold water can be used to water plants, mop floors etc. * a dishwasher usually is a more efficient way to wash dishes than by hand * if you need to water your yard, do it early or late in the day, or even at night (less evaporates) * check for water leaks * take a "Navy shower" (see references), basically you turn off the wanter while soaping up or shampooing * catch or direct rainwater for use * consider water efficiency when purchasing appliances such as clothes washers or dishwashers
