Water Efficiency
Options for conserving water include looking at plumbing fixtures and overall water usage, measuring how much water is actually used and measuring the effects of implementing water saving technologies. Large quantities of water are used for landscaping and there are many options to reduce its overall use through reuse and recycling. Many buildings use air conditioning systems that depend on millions of gallons of water for operation and there are ways to minimize this usage as well.
