    Please give me some useful tips on how to save water while washing my clothes .. i have realized i use most of the water while washing my clothes and left with only little for other household activities ?

    How can i save water, i live in California, water scarcity has become a major problem for me, help me with some tips.

    whenever i start cooking , my tap water runs out, i am unable to do the dishes, how do i solve this problem, i some water, but that is not enough.

    How do I do rain Water harvesting? I live in California, and life is too busy for me, could anyone give me some tips on Rain Water harvesting in urban?

    Can i use bath water to water my garden at any time or only on watering days?

    how do i deal with present water issues , IE: household purpose, gardening.. etc

    If you are on your own well you could have several problems. Water table has dropped, you pressure regulator on your pump is defective, your storage tank is too small. Or if you have one of those airless tanks your bladder may be compromised. Or your pump is going bad. If you are on a municiple system you need to contact someone in authority.

    There are problems with using gray water in the civilized world, you neighbors may turn you in. That happened to me.

    Hi,
    The need to conserve water has become very important. Here are some tips to help you save water while washing clothes –
    • Wash only full loads of laundry. This would save 15 to 50 gallons per load.
    • Also, collect the water from the washer and use it to flush your toilet or water plants. This would also help save fresh water.

    I edited out the link. Sorry, can't have links in posts.

    Peace,
