Water saver hints Posted at 11/25/09 - 04:53 PM

The use and overuse of water is becoming a real concern around the world and you can do your bit.  
For a cheap and easy DIY project in the bathroom, replace your full flush toilet with a low-flow,  this can save as much as 70% of your water usage. Dual-flush cisterns are also great because they control the amount of water being used.  If you don't want to replace the cistern, there are gadgets that fit in the cistern and regulate the float or water level, reducing the flush volume for just a few dollars.  Also, check your water authority as some now offer rebates when water saving measures are used.

Small Wind Electric Systems
Small wind electric systems are one of the most cost-effective home-based renewable energy systems and are also nonpolluting.  Small wind electric systems can also be used for a variety of other applications, including water pumping on farms and ranches.  If your location is good for a small wind electric system, it can do the following:
  • Lower your electricity bills by at least 50%
  • Avoid the high costs of having utility power lines extended to a remote location
  • Provide power supplies through extended local utility outages.
