Consumer Reports explains that there are lots of ways to conserve water so that our faucets don't run dry.
From coast to coast, water restrictions are in place as drought conditions worsen, affecting tens of millions of people. That means cutting back on everything from watering the lawn to washing the car. And as Consumer Reports explains, there are lots of other ways to conserve water so that our faucets don't run dry.
Saving water doesn’t need to be difficult. Let’s start outside. The Environmental Protection Agency says outdoor watering accounts for almost 30% of household water use. Save water by letting your lawn grow longer to reduce evaporation, so you water less frequently. And think about replacing some grass with mulch, ground cover, or longer ornamental grasses that use far less water.
Instead of rinsing your driveway or deck, sweep it or use an electric leaf blower. And wash your car using a bucket of water instead of a running hose. Nearly 20% of indoor residential water use flows from the shower. A standard showerhead releases 2.5 gallons of water a minute.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
