Our government only allowed watering lawns every other day, i.e. odd numbers on Mondays, Wednesdays, etc. and even numbers on Tuesdays and Thursdays, etc... to save water for the summer. Otherwise, I guess you can turn the tap off when you don't need it, use, hot water only when necessary, etc. Good luck!

Another idea is that if you have a child who likes to play in the water, use it to your advantage when you water your grass. We set up the slip n slide for our daughter, and move it around every half hour or so. After an afternoon of playing, our yard is watered, and our three year old has had a blast playing in the water. I know it seems like a lot of work, but it saves a lot of water in the process.

For a more long term outlook you could always take a closer look at how energy efficient your appliances are that use water.

For example, if you have a washing machine that's decades old, it might be worthwhile buying a new energy efficient one that needs less. Not only that but it would save on your electricity bill too!

Reduce your showering time by a minute or two. Turn off the shower when you are soaping yourslef. Recycle the water by collecting in a pail will be better.
