Use a hose nozzle when washing cars to save water.
- Use a broom, rather than a hose to clean sidewalks.
- Consider using a commercial car wash that recycles water. If you wash your own car, park on the grass to do so.
- When you give your pet fresh water, don’t throw the old water down the drain. Use it to water your trees or shrubs.
- When you clean your fish tank, use the water you’ve drained on your plants. The water is rich in nitrogen and phosphorus, providing you with a free and effective fertilizer.
- If you have a swimming pool, get a cover. You will cut the loss of water by evaporation up to 90%.
