Houses need to be built with ability to divert gray water to other uses. We need to turn off the water while brushing teeth and take shorter showers. There are small adjustments that can make huge differences.Deirdrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01111665177473414894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27065066.post-1156682608092329582006-08-27T08:43:00.000-04:002006-08-27T08:43:00.000-04:00How right you are - we need to take action on a lo...How right you are - we need to take action on a lot of things before we "run out" of natural resources. <BR/><BR/>We have the same issues in Florida - huge, rapid expansion at the expense of the environment.

Soon, it will drop past another point and even more. And wouldn't you know it. I still see folks spraying to their hearts content. The fine is only $25. It's just not enough to prevent the waste.Cyn Huddlestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16698496590225633741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27065066.post-1156633527128188022006-08-26T19:05:00.000-04:002006-08-26T19:05:00.000-04:00What problems will be created by enlarging one res...What problems will be created by enlarging one reservoir to pipe water to another area?
