Many people take an hour baths or showers, others wash their cars with the hose, ever think about why people waste so much water?

San Diego is moments away from another water shortage and people don't even realize it.  With our large population and the gallons of wasted water, San Diego is running out.   We need to start being more alert in this situation.

If you don't want to end up without water, try reducing the amount of time you take in the showers, instead of a 10 minute shower, reduce your time to 5-6 minutes.   Try to hand wash your dishes instead of using the dish washer.  Use the broom instead of the hose when your cleaning the side walk or drive way.  Collect the water you use to wash your fruits and vegetables then reuse it when your going to water your plants.

You can also collect water from your roof or when its raining to water your lawn or house plants.you can also install a rain sensor on you irrigation controller so your system won't go off when its raining, use it only when necessary.

Water is one of the main things we need to survive.  Lets take care of it.
