CAR WASHING Using a bucket with a sponge plus a trigger

nozzle on the hose will save you about 300 of those liters.

POOL If you own a pool, be sure to use a pool cover when it's not in use.

LAWN Set sprinklers to water the lawn, not sidewalks and driveways.

Use low-angle or pulsating sprinklers that produce large fat droplets of water.

Don't overwater your landscape

PLANTING Add two to four inches of organic material. Use water-wise plants.
