HOW TO CONSERVE WATER - If you wash dishes by hand, fill one half of the sink with soapy water and the other with clean water instead of letting the water run. - Select one glass to use for drinking each day. If you do this, your dishwasher will take longer to fill up and it will not need to be run as frequently. - Thaw foods in the refrigerator or in a bowl of hot water instead of using running water. - Plant your garden when temperatures are cooler and plants require less water—this is also less stressful for the plants. - Collect the runoff from your roof in a barrel and use it on your plants and garden. - Recycle and reuse the water in fountains and other ornamental water fixtures. - Use a bucket of soapy water to wash your car, or simply place a shut-off nozzle on the end of your hose.
