Question

Answer 1

@radar can you help me?

Answer 2

The two most common ways is the use of a water restrictor in the shower head, most of the heads in the U.S.A are equipped with a water restrictor. Secondlly, the commode water tanks has been made smaller using less water per flush. Some conservation of water may be gained by using "instant" water heaters in the shower/bath and basin rather than a hotwater tank type heater. Locating an instant water heater near the output of the water reduces the need to let the water run until it becomes hot at the output. Jusat some info about old ideas.

Answer 3

@radar: I couldn't have said it better but I will add that leaky fixtures can waste a lot of water as well and cheap and easy to fix.

This site has some useful info on leaks:

Answer 4

turn the water off when you are washing your hands. then turn it back on when done lathering

Answer 5

@stormfire1, You are so right, a dripping faucet, or shower would certainly account for considerable water waste. So good maintenance of bathroom fixtures should be added to the list.
