Tyrone Disanti: 1. Water conservation is the act of conserving or saving water. Not wasting it.2. Las Vegas gets most (80-90%) of its water from Lake Mead. We are allowed to pull out 300,000 acre-feet of water per year from the Lake, but with return flow credits (cleaned up waste water returned to Lake Mead), we pull out about 500,000 acre-feet per year.3. We live in a desert, we have a limited supply, and our population continues to increase.4. The Southern Nevada Water Authority does not really encourage conserving ! water in the home...because if this is done, there is less waste water to clean up and return to Lake Mead and, in turn, less water can be pulled out the Lake.5. Less lawn irrigation...most of our water usage in the Valley is actually lawn watering. Replacing grass lawns with xeriscaping is one way to reduce outside water usage.6. Recycling water for use in fountains (like the Bellagio), for manufacturing (cooling water for industrial processes), and for golf courses (for instance).More water conservation information can be found at SNWA's website (below)....Show more

With just 4" of rainfall is the Las Vegas Valley a year, water is a limited and precious resource.4. Check your toilets and faucets for leaks. You could be wasting more than 100 gallons per day. Install flow-restricting devices in your sink, showers a! nd toilets to reduce water flow. Turn off the water when brush! ing your teeth or shaving. Take shorter showers. Limit showers to five minutes or less. Wash only full loads of dishes and laundry. 6. Adjust your sprinkler clocks seasonally.Check and adjust your sprinklers weekly to keep the water on your lawn, not the street or sidewalk. Use a broom, not a hose, to clean the driveway. Convert to water-efficient landscaping....Show more
