1. Conserve water when washing dishes by hand by filling up both sink basins with water. Wash in one; rinse in the other. If you only have one basin, wash several dishes before you rinse. 
2. Scrape plates, pots and pans into a compost or the trash rather than rinsing with water. Most new dishwashers do not require rinsing, and can handle even the most stubborn foods.
3. Start a compost. It will eliminate the need for running water down the drain for rinsing, and can help you feed your landscaping throughout the summer months.
4. Run the dishwasher only when it’s completely full.
5. Use low levels of water and detergent when washing dishes by hand. With less soap suds, you’ll have less rinsing.
6. If your refrigerator doesn’t have a water tap, place a pitcher of water inside to avoid running the tap for cold water before filling up your glass.
7. Wash multiple fruits and vegetables together in a bowl of water instead of running water over them. The key is to scrub them clean, not spray them.
8. Use minimal amounts of water for boiling and cooking. Vegetables and pasta need just enough water to keep them submerged during the cooking process.
9. Eat meat and dairy foods in smaller proportions, and less often during the week. On average, a pound of beef takes about 1,500 gallons of water to produce.
10. Keep your drains and garbage disposal free of waste and working well. Schedule routine maintenance to guarantee them to be clog-free, which will eliminate higher water usage.
