I know we are known to get lots of rain in the UK, but even here we are told to reduce our usage and several summers we have had water shortages so no hose pipes/sprinklers allowed!<BR/><BR/>Have you thought about using your "grey water" for the washing machine/toilet? Basically you use your bath/shower/basin water (not kitchen sink water) its a very good idea, though you would need gravity/a pump to get it to the washer. <BR/><BR/>I love your thought provoking posts :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699927918903643970.post-20301128956938719322008-07-08T20:22:00.000-06:002008-07-08T20:22:00.000-06:00We in the east don't have the "water rights" issue...We in the east don't have the "water rights" issues western states do. I'm glad! How amazing that you can't collect rainwater, but I do get it. I read something a while ago explaining the basics of water rights.<BR/><BR/>Anyway - I love you blog name - very smart! I'm going to add you to my Google Reader. Thanks for coming to visit my blog!Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08779939436015866490noreply@blogger.com
