1. Buy low-flow aerators for all of your bathroom and kitchen faucets.
2. While you're at it buy a low-flow shower head.
3. Your dishwasher (probably) uses 7 gallons of water per wash. Do your dishes by hand instead.
4. Buy yourself a brick or two. Place them in your toilet to displace water.
5. This one's simple: when you wash your clothes, fill the washing machine up. If you can adjust the size of the load, never wash for a larger load than you actually have.
6. Try to use all your hot water in one shot. If you need to wash your whites, try to time it so that you can do your dishes first, then shower and turn on the washing machine. This prevents warm water from filling the pipes and cooling down more than once. It also reduces the amount of water you waste in the shower waiting for warmer agua.
7. Consider saving your dishwater and using to to water your plants or garden, at least in the summertime.
