| Car Wash Wash Cars efficiently. Choose a car wash that recycles water. At home, use a shut-off nozzle and wash your car in small sections. Direct runoff to water landscaping. |
| Pools & Spas Cover pool or spa. Cover pools and spas to reduce evaporation. Avoid overflows and splashes by reducing water levels. Water landscape with wading pool water. |
| Dishwasher Reduce dishwashing. Use a rubber spatula to scrape dishes clean to limit pre-rinse. Let really dirty pans or dishes soak to speed washing. Use fewer Dishes. Limit dishwasher use to full loads. Minimize detergent use. Prepare food with an eye to reducing dishwashing. |
| Kitchen Prepare food efficiently. Speed cleaning food by using a vegetable brush. Spray water in short bursts. Faucet aerators cute consumption. Defrost sensibly. Plan ahead to defrost foods overnight in the refrigerator. Don't use running water. Use the microwave or put wrapped food in a bowl of cold water. |
Landscaping
Water yards wisely. Landscaping benefits most from slow, through,
infrequent watering. Minimize evaporation by watering in early morning or evening. Aerate lawns.
Install drip irrigation and automatic timers.
Mulch to retain water. Plant hardy, water-saving plants, trees, and shrubs,
particularly native species. Mow less frequently in dry times. Limit lawn by using gravel or bark.
