There are four basic ways to save water:
* Be conscious of the amount of water you utilise and use less whenever you can.
* A leak of merely one drop per second wastes 2,400 gallons per year. Most leaks are easy to repair with some basic know-how and a few simple tools.
* There are a number of simple devices that can significantly reduce water usage. These include aerators, flow regulators and displacement devices.
* Used water, such as at the kitchen sink and at the washstand, is often suitable for other purposes. If this 'grey water' is used more than once, it saves water for other uses.
