  • Taking shorter showers
  • Using the toilet half flush
  • Using a bucket to collect grey water from your shower of bathtub to use on the garden
  • Using native and drought tolerant plants in your garden
  • Using mulch on your garden bed to prevent water evaporation
  • Using a pool cover to reduce water evaporation
  • Checking for leaks on tape, pipes and fittings.
