This is a common site in my client's showers, tubs and sinks. They use trash cans and buckets to collect warm-up water that they then carry outside to irrigate plants and gardens. Who knew there was a entire underground movement of eco-warriors carting water, day after day, working to conserve even a few gallons of our most precious resource. Bravo to you all.

Catching rain water in 5 gallon buckets and then carrying each bucket to fill all these trashcans, warrior Sue will be retired of this heroic task. By installing a new rain catchment system water will be stored and used to  water an orchard of citrus, stone fruit and fig along with a small vineyard on her wholstically integrated two acre site.

Even with their newly renovated bathroom Sande and Lin chose to continue on the Water Warrior path and simply catch their sink water into a bucket and use it for toilet flushing.

Sande and Linda collect the water from the bathroom sink and use it to flush their toilet! This results in a huge savings since toilet flush water accounts for 30% of water used inside the house.
