nice to see that so many people already have ways to save water hopefully there will be a nice healthy dose of rain in the much needed areas around Australia!

Wikipedia has a list of the water restrictions around Australia. In WA, “permanent restrictions” is a 2-day a week sprinkler rotation in Perth, which isn’t that bad really; while regional areas are up to Stage 4.

Thanks for the tip about using milk/juice jugs to collect washing-machine water – I’d been thinking about trying this but thought a bucket might get messy.

I’m sorry to say we already do all of that. XD My parents are insane…

“To get hot water quicker (for showers etc) just turn on the hot water and wait.” I do that as well from young. Just don’t point the shower head to yourself… learned that the painful way… :’(

“Wash your plates together, not individually.” That’s the only excuse my dad gives me when I am about to wash my dishes…

save washing machine water is a really good one, its effective – esp if u have large buckets/barrels.
