Landscape Irrigation- Using plants that need little water and grouping plants that have the same water needs. Also scheduling lawn irrigation for early morning or evening hours can reduce water that is evaporated

Water reuse/ recycle- reuse the waste/reclaimed water from one application to another application. For example, using waste water for irrigational purposes. Constant leak detection- identify and fix leaks in pipes. Repairing controls loss of water.
