Invest in Water Conservation
Cities, water supply corporations, businesses, and individuals can all
help protect spring flows by reducing consumption of water. There are
many easy ways to help reduce consumption. Here are a few:
replace old shower heads and toilets with new models that use less
water
adjust your toilet to use less water per flush
capture rain water off your roof for use
check your water lines to make sure they aren't leaking; repair any
leaks
don't water your lawn during the hot parts of the day
use native plants in landscaping
If all water users in the Edwards Aquifer region committed to reducing
consumption, we will save billions of dollars that won't have to be spent
on new water development projects (like dams, uphill water transmission
lines, and treatment plants).
