Conserving water comes in many different forms. Some of these maybe:
- Turning off the faucet when you brush your teeth
- Using an automatic rain sensor to turn off your irrigation system when it rains
- Catching rainwater to use in flower gardens
- Using agricultural practices that increases infiltration and reduces runoff
This page will provide posts, publications, and links relating to helping conserve water resources.
