Fill up your dishwasher before you run it.
Keep potted plants indoors instead of cur flowers.

Two young kids in the same tub = ten gallons of water saved.
Take a shower once a month, whether you need one or not.

Stop watering your lawn and garden before the soil becomes saturated.

Adjust your water softener so that it regenerates only as often as necessary.

Shave your head or cut your hair short - you will spend a lot less time washing your hair.
Park your car in the grass before you wash it.
Use collected rainwater to flush your toilets.
Plug the tub before you turn on the water and just add more hot water as it fills up.
Try to use only one plate or bowl per person for each meal, this will lead to fewer dishwasher loads.
Check for leaks in your pool.
Take tandem showers: as soon as one person is done the next hops in.

Grow your own vegetables, organically so all they need is a quick rinse.
Water your lawn or garden with the water from your fish tank when it is time to clean it.
Convert a portion of your lawn into a patio or deck - they never need to be watered.
Don't allow water to run down slopes and hill when you water them. Water for a few short periods with a few minutes between each.
Use organic fertilizers to promote slow healthy growth.
Measure how much you water your lawn or garden with a rain gauge or empty can to prevent over watering.
Water your lawn once every three weeks or less and let your lawn go dormant during the summer.
Put a bucket in the shower with you and use the captured water to flush the toilet.
Share water saving tips with your family and friends.
Have fun and start saving!
