Water Is the New Gold.

"Want not waste not." That's what Mom used to say; and she was right.


Americans often take for granted the amount of water used versus the amount of water that is necessary. On the west coast, they are experiencing a severe drought and having to conserve water.
We regard water as such a readily available commodity, but where will we be when it becomes as precious as gold?

Maybe that's the attitude we need to adopt regarding water. It is as precious as gold. It is the source of life. Without it, we are finished.

So why waste it? Do you have a drippy faucet you've neglected to fix for so long you now regard it as an ambient noise that helps you sleep? Would you let gold drip away so you can get some shut eye? Doubtful. The same credence should be applied to water. Because in the end, a leaky faucet will yield gold alright, in the form of an outrageous water bill.


Plus, there is a moral issue here. There are many parts of the world where water is in fact regarded as gold and one may have to  travel many of miles in pursuit of it. 

There are a few ways you can conserve water. that are not only financially sound, they are morally sound. 

-Resist using unnecessary water. For instance, if it is the dead of winter and your rose bushes aren't in bloom, they probably don't need the automatic watering system pumping wasteful water into the frigid air. It's not only wasteful, it can cause a great deal of damage. Winterize your home. Remove hoses and tighten faucets. All outdoor watering should probably cease until late spring. So bring those hoses inside.

-Water runs through a multitude of channels indoor home. Your refrigerator probably has a small hose in the back to receive it's water source. Check inside and out of the fridge for any compromises to the hose. If it is old, replace it. Same goes for your washer and dryer. Your dryer may not use water, but many use gas. While your back there, check for any compromised hoses on all the above.

-Invest in a low-flow toilet. They are energy efficient and don't waste water. An investment that pays for itself.

-It sounds so simple, but so many forget... Turn the water off when you are not using it!

How many times have you been in the bathroom, brushing your teeth, with the water running. This isn't necessary. Wait until you're done to rinse the sink. It will rinse equally as well with one rinse instead of a constant stream.

Low Flow/High Efficiency

It seems every day when we wake up, more and more technological advances have been made. Even in our bathrooms! The future is here and evidence of that is in the toilet... Literally!

Since the mid nineteenth century until relatively recently; technological advances regarding the throne have been virtually inert-- until 1994 when water conservation laws came to pass. After that manufacturers scrambled to make a Low Flow toilet to suit the needs of the consumer as well as meet the demands of regulation. Subsequently, it was the consumer that saw the short end of the stick as quality was lost in an effort to make a low flowing device.

The reason toilet bowl technology remained unchanged for so long is quite simple... It works. The use of gravity and air have created any easy to maintain system with toilets manufactured before 1994. A toilet bowl can house 7-8 gallons of water in it’s reservoir and use gravity to flush out waste in the bowl. After water conservation became a paramount issue it was recognized how wasteful 7-8 gallons of gallons per flush (GPF) really is. The new mandate only allowed for 1.6 GPF. This makes it much harder for gravity to do it’s job with such a light load. As a result, many sought out toilets from garage sales and second hand stores to avoid the seemingly Low Flow/ Low Quality of the new design.

In the last decade however, many manufacturers have released some very sleek, high-performance commodes. Many addressing the issue of gravity. Before WWII, most toilets kept the water tank high above the toilet to ensure a proper cleansing from the height and weight of the water. Now; that same idea has been employed with the newest models. Pressure assistance. Be it from a pump, motor, air, etc. There are many new break throughs that can not only conserve water, but conserve money! In the end, nobody likes to flush money down the toilet.
