    Living in a large metropolitan area, we waste vast amounts of water. Every little bit of conservation and thought before disposal can make a big difference in our "water footprint". I am much more aware of stormwater runoff having installed a rainwater barrel for my garden.

      So true, Tim.  I think any change in our overuse of water, however small, will have a great impact over time.
