there are 5 ways to conserve water 1. directing the storm water in the rainy season along sloping roads into the underground aquafiers after filtering through gravel, sand & treatment with UV to prevent e-coli from contaminating the aquifyers thus recharging the groundwater which can be pumped out in the dry season 2. if the city is located within 3 miles from a river installing a 3-5 MLD purification plants for drinking 3. doubling the taxes on any building/home which does not install a RWH system within a year 4. wiping with a wet sponge to clean cars instead of hosing 5. installing a male urinal in toilets instead of flushing with a galleon of water-installing automated "5" second faucets on washbasins for brushing or washing hands-washing clothes in a bucket or crockery/cutlery by hand instead of in washing machines

2. if the city is located within 3 miles from a river installing a 3-5 MLD purification plants for drinking
3. doubling the taxes on any building/home which does not install a RWH system within a year
4. wiping with a wet sponge to clean cars instead of hosing
5. installing a male urinal in toilets instead of flushing with a galleon of water-installing automated "5" second faucets on washbasins for brushing or washing hands-washing clothes in a bucket or crockery/cutlery by hand instead of in washing machines
