Indoor Conservation

 

The strategy for indoor conservation is to first replace the water guzzlers. The top water consumption areas in average US homes are shown in the graph.

For ideas on replacing the toilet, laundry, faucets, and showerheads, look here. Note that dishwasher appliances are surprisingly efficient – much better than hand washing.

If you need to open the faucet and wait for hot water to flow out, consider installing a re-circulating hot water system.

Leaks should be ZERO: there is no excuse for leaks. For leak reduction tips look here.
