Saving money, saving energy, saving water – these are all good reasons to learn more about water conservation. And, as Ben Franklin said: “When the well’s dry, we know the worth of water.” Despite drought-like conditions during several past summers in different parts of the country, the eastern U.S. typically has enough rainfall that we do not make water conservation headlines. However, a different kind of “drought” is occurring under our feet. I’m talking about our groundwater. In many areas, especially urban areas, we use groundwater faster than we can replenish it.
Groundwater is water in the subsurface soil pores and rock crevices. Groundwater is the water source and supply for wells. What is happening now is the amount of groundwater recharging many of our country’s urban area aquifers is significantly less than the amount we are extracting. Groundwater is the primary source of drinking water in many cities, which is a vital issue even if your area isn’t in an official drought.
Water conservation requires changing habits and expectations from businesses and residents for commercial, household, and outdoor water usage. Now is the time for everyone to do their part, especially with summer coming, a time of year that strains our aquifers as many people water gardens and lawns.
Because we use water in so many places, the list of ways to conserve is virtually endless and is not hard to do. They include everything from changing how you water your lawn and garden to what appliances you buy.
Mow Higher, Less Frequently
For an established lawn, refrain from watering during the summer – just let it go browner like it wants to when it is dry. It will green up when the rains return. An exception to this occurs during some summers when extended dry periods combined with unusually high temperatures cause the grass to die. However, your lawn will be fine since most summer weather conditions are milder. WaterSense has many more tips that save water and money on your outdoor water bill.
You can use collected rainwater for lawn and garden watering between rain events. Consider installing a rain barrel to collect rainwater (be sure to place a screen over the top or use the water fast to prevent mosquitos from breeding). Of course, you can also mulch your flower and vegetable gardens to reduce evaporation from the soil and water your garden only when needed. Thick enough mulch also cuts down on the number of weeds.
Look for Water Conservation Rebates
You can also use water-saving products in your home or business, such as low-flow showerheads, faucet aerators, and low-flush toilets. Some municipalities even have toilet rebate programs to promote changing out older toilets. When purchasing a dishwasher or washing machine, consider energy- and water-efficient ones, such as EnergyStar and WaterSense-certified appliances. Whether or not you purchase energy and water-efficient appliances, you can always fill dishwashers and washing machines to their capacity before running them, which reduces the amount of water used by needing to operate them less.
Thirsting for More?
Other water-saving tips include easy changes in hygiene habits. If, for example, you choose to take 5-minute showers instead of 10-minute showers, the typical person can save over 10,000 gallons of water per year. Consider taking a “military shower” by turning the water off for lathering and on again during rinsing. Also, try turning the faucet off when scrubbing your hands or brushing your teeth, and turn the water on again for rinsing.
If you decide to implement these suggestions, you will do your part to conserve our water now and for future generations. Every little bit makes a difference!
