If we all do our part, together we can make a difference.

As you probably already know, water conservation has been a trending topic for the past 50 years. With the amount of drought the United States has experienced during that time period and the recent spike in drinking water purchases due to the pandemic, it’s pretty safe to say that water conservation is needed now more than ever. 

Here are some tips that www.greensourcedfw.org suggests for residential water conservation:

• Reuse water whenever possible (example: pour old drinking water into your house plants)
• Repair leaky faucets
• Take shorter showers
• Turn off the water while shaving, washing hands or brushing your teeth
• Use cold water when possible
• Mulch all planted areas
• Water the lawn with one inch of water per week
• Water between 10:00p.m. and 6:00a.m.
• Cover pools and spas
• Plant trees

Using these helpful tips I believe we can all make positive strides towards relieving this ongoing concern and pave a way for efficient water conservation methods and a prosperous future for us as a whole.
