A leak of one drop of water per second wastes about 10,000 litres a year. A broom is better than a hose for cleaning driveways and sidewalks.
Water conservation is easy.
Collect rain water in barrels for the garden or washing the car. Use a bucket, sponge and trigger nozzle on the hose to wash the car. Replace a piece of lawn this summer with drought resistant plants and ground cover. Save water and money with an automatic timer on your sprinkler. Remember to water in the morning and to shut the timer off during rainy periods.
