Water Conservation Strategies You Can Use

While our earth’s water has long been overlooked on the subject of conservation, today it almost has a place on the endangered species list. Our planet Earths water is 98% saltwater. Leaving just 2% to be used for drinking bathing and supporting mankind. The typical Southern California home owner uses 50%-60% of their water on their landscaping. Our past generations were ignoring or not knowing the catastrophic damages that industrial waste and other toxic issues would have on our ground water supply. The fact is we all can protect and conserve water by many different strategies and actions.

There are many products that can help change this pattern of water uses. The old method of putting a brick in your toilet has been replaced by the toilet manufactures making the tanks smaller. Any faucet leak or running toilet needs repaired ASAP. All garden hoses should have a valve or handle at the end to eliminated running water. The lawn can be replaced by synthetic grass completely eliminating the need for water. There is also the smart water irrigation system and your garden spray heads can become soaker hoses reducing evaporation. The notion that it is for someone else to be water wise is gone, we all have a role.
