The biggest thing you can do I would think is collect rain water! I'm actually installing a barrel to collect rain water next year to water my garden with. Besides being free, I heard it's healthier because you don't get additives and contaminations like you would from ground water. A couple good links on collecting rain water: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainwater_harvesting Harvesting the Water With Rain Barrels HarvestH2O.com rain-barrel.net8 rainwater harvesting systems that make water conservation fun Harvested Rainwater Methods of Rain Water Harvesting domestic Envireau rainwater harvesting system Another good idea is look up information on greywater systems, I not sure how feasible that would be for you though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_water The Greywater Guerrillas http://greywater.com greywater-systems.com More ways to save water: 1. Install devices in your facets and shows head that slightly restrict water so you don't use as much. 2. Flush your toilet only after you've urinated about 2 or 3 times (definitely flush if you've gone number 2), this might be a little stinky but you save about a gallon of water every time you don't flush. Since I'm the only one that uses my toilet I do this all the time and have been for years! 3. Take showers instead of baths. 4. When doing laundry wait until there is a full load. 5. Turn off the water when brushing your teeth and shaving (don't keep the water on while you brush your teeth, only to put a little water on the brush itself). Hope this helps
