[1] water.jpg[2] Water - Use it Wisely shows you 100 ways to conserve water depending on your geographical location in the country.

I am definitely guilty of wasting water. From the list of 100 ways to conserve water for my location, here are ten things I should watch:

- When washing dishes by hand, don’t let the water run while rinsing. Fill one sink with wash water and the other with rinse water.

- Wash your produce in the sink or a pan that is partially filled with water instead of running water from the tap.

- Time your shower to keep it under 5 minutes. You’ll save up to 1000 gallons a month.

-Soak your pots and pans instead of letting the water run while you scrape them clean.

-Turn off the water while you brush your teeth and save 4 gallons a minute. That’s 200 gallons a week for a family of four.

-Wash clothes only when you have a full load and save up to 600 gallons each month.

-Cook food in as little water as possible. This will also retain more of the nutrients.

-Turn off the water while you shave and you can save more than 100 gallons a week.

-To save water and time, consider washing your face or brushing your teeth while in the shower.

-When you are washing your hands, don’t let the water run while you lather.

You should also browse the [3] rest of the site as it has some good sections to include education links/ tools, monthly water conserving activities, home water audits etc. I found the [4] water technology section the most interesting, it had the latest technological equipment commercially available for water conservation at home and at your business.
