Water is California’s most precious and natural resource. How we manage it today will affect nearly every aspect of our future. It’s easy for every Californian—young and old—to save water every day. The good news is there are lots of simple ways to reduce the amount of water that we use at home, both inside and outside. If we all work together, we can make a difference for California’s future. The Inland Empire Utilities Agency offers a variety of water saving tips and resources. Simple changes can add up to a lot of savings. Water landscape in the early morning hours, choose climate appropriate plants, place a layer of mulch around trees and plants to reduce evaporation and use a broom instead of a hose on the driveway. Saving water indoors can be as easy as turning off the water when brushing your teeth, installing water saving shower heads, taking shorter showers, fixing leaky faucets and plumbing fixtures and running the dishwasher only when full. These simple changes can add up to big water savings.
