Saving Water Outdoors and Indoors

Water is essential to each of us every day. But it’s a limited resource, so we all need to rethink the way we use water on a daily basis, indoors and outdoors.

There are lots of ways to save water, but reducing the water you use outdoors can make the biggest difference of all. By making a few easy changes to the way we use water outside our homes — like watering lawns only when needed, adjusting sprinklers to avoid watering sidewalks and using a broom instead of a hose — you can save a significant amount of water every day.
