A great site to check out for saving water alone is
wikiHow to Save Water.
A. Reducing water
- Keep an eye on the clock on how long you shower.
- Showers are better than baths since they use less water.
- Turn shower off while shampooing and using body soap/wash.
- Try not to flush excessively, and don't use too much toilet paper to lessen how much you flush.
- Put a plastic basin into your bathroom sink so that it catches the water you use to wash your face and brushing your teeth, etc. You can also do this while washing your dishes. When the basin gets full enough, use the water to flush the toilet [4].
- Don't over water plants. Not only do you waste water doing that, but you also run the risk of drowning the plant.
- While washing dishes, don't leave the faucet on too long or when you're not rinsing.
- Always make sure you don't leave the faucet running even a little bit when you're done using the water.
- Keep all plumbing up to date, and make sure there are no leaks.
B. Reuse Water
- During rainy seasons, keep pots or containers outside to collect water which you can then use to water your plants later, or even wash your car. Also, put your plants outside during the rain so that they can be watered naturally.
- Any water that you don't drink from your glass or bottle, you should just drop it in a plant near by.
