With severe water issues comes harsh measures to conserve water and in West Texas they are struggling with water supplies. A water program has been implemented in Webb, Pecos, Val Verity, El Paso, Hidalgo and Crockett Counties in Texas and they are poised to save over 25 gallons per day per person and that will result in a tremendous amount of water. Some of the measures include using water saving equipment in the home such as low float flush toilets, shut off nozzles on garden hoses and restrictive faucets.

This will be coupled with a special public-relations water conservation program and studies show already in target markets and case studies that the use of aerated faucets, special shower heads and retrofitted toilets that each household where they were installed save 10-15 gallons per day alone. Each household was also given water conservation tips.

The total savings per household was between five and 21% of their normal usage, which represented on average 25 gallons a day per person of water savings. This proves that Americans use too much water and that we can conserve our water and protect this vital resource if we will just do smart things and try a little harder.

This water conservation program in West Texas should be commended with proving that we can solve our water crisis issues during droughts. Please consider all this in 2006.
