What can you do to help save water? Try some of these:
 

• Turn off the water when you brush your teeth.
  
  
• Don't let a garden hose run. Make sure it has a nozzle to stop the water.
  
  
• When your sprinklers are running, make sure they are not spraying the driveway or sidewalk. If they are, tell your parents.
  
  
• Tell your parents to use a broom instead of a hose to clean the driveway.
  
  
• Take a shorter shower. If you take baths, don't fill the tub all the way to the top.
  
  
• Tell your parents to use a car wash instead of washing their car at home. A car wash recycles water.
  
  
• It takes more water to wash dishes by hand. Use the dishwasher instead.

• The water we save when people trade their grass for water-smart plants is HUGE: We could fill more than 452 million bathtubs or fill the pyramid at the Luxor Hotel 50 times with the water we've saved!
