2. Use Water-Efficient Appliances – Install water-saving devices like low-flow faucets, showerheads, and energy-efficient dishwashers and washing machines.

3. Take Shorter Showers – Reducing shower time by a few minutes can save gallons of water each time.

4. Turn off the faucet when not used – Turn off the water faucet when brushing teeth, washing hands, or washing the dishes to avoid unnecessary water waste.
