Try These Water-Saving Tips
1. Run your dishwasher only when it is full and you could save 400 gallons a month.
2. Use a broom instead of a hose to clean your driveway or sidewalk and save 80 gallons of water every time.
3. We're more likely to notice leaky faucets indoors, but don't forget to check outdoor faucets, pipes, and hoses for leaks.
4. Use a layer of organic mulch around plants to reduce evaporation and save hundreds of gallons of water a year.
5. Turn off the water while you brush your teeth and save 3 gallons a minute. That's more than 1000 gallons a year.

The best water savings in irrigation is achieved by matching the water discharge rate to the plant uptake rate. Drain below the root zone is therefore prevented and the water/air balance in the soil is better for the plant. The method was developed in Israel and called “Micro-Drip Irrigation” and “Gravity Drip Irrigation” enables a discharge as low as one glass of water (250CC) per hour.
