Low Water Usage Landscape Design

Yard landscape can take up a large amount of water usage. There are some organizations that offer a rebate when you replace grass with rock or artificial grass, limiting the amount of water usage your property requires. This will also lessen the amount of yard work for you and your family. Although some home owners are hesitant to take this step, once they do they express a more attractive curb appeal to their home and a lower water bill.
 

Soaking Dishes in Water

While cleaning your kitchen, rather than letting your faucet run the entire time you are cleaning dishes, let your pots and pans soak in a sink full of water. This will help conserve water and still get your dishes clean. Another great way to conserve water is to turn the water off while you are washing your hands with soap, only turn the water back on after you have fully lathered your hands with soap and are ready to rinse them off. This will help to conserve water.
 

Cooking Tips to Save Water

When cooking, people often use running water to defrost food. Most homes now all have a microwave that has appropriate settings for defrosting food. Rather than running water for long amounts of time over frozen food, set your microwave to the correct setting and defrost your food. This will help to conserve water and get your food thawed out a lot faster than running warm water over it. Also, dishwashers typically use less water than washing dishes by hand, so save yourself from extra work and conserve water at the same time by starting a load of dishes.
