When I'm running the faucet to heat up or cool down the water for something else, I try to remember to catch the wasted water in my watering can. The water that could've just gone down the drain now keeps my plants from wilting. I also pour my dog's old water onto a plant instead of down the drain when I'm fixing her a fresh bowl.

My lawn is crunchy and needs water... looks like I'll have to break out the sprinklers this weekend. There's a lot of good info out there about watering practices... when I was checking out the <a href="http://www.scdhec.net/environment/" rel="nofollow">South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC)</a> Web site recently, I found a "smart watering" guide they produced as part of their <a href="http://www.scdhec.gov/lwm/recycle/forms/grow_int.pdf" rel="nofollow">Gardening and Recycling Organics Wisely (GROW)</a> program. Check it out <a href="http://www.scdhec.gov/lwm/recycle/forms/grow_wtr.pdf" rel="nofollow">here</a>. And the navy shower is a great idea! Yeah, super dry for sure.
