What are some examples of bad water usage?

Excessive watering of lawns: Watering your lawn too frequently can lead to overwatering, which can cause the lawn to become waterlogged and susceptible to disease. It can also lead to runoff, which can pollute waterways and lead to flooding.

Leaving the water running: Leaving the water running while you're brushing your teeth, shaving, or doing the dishes can waste a lot of water. Be sure to turn off the water when you're not using it.

Using the dishwasher for small loads: Dishwashers use a lot of water, so it's best to only use them when you have a full load of dishes. Hand-washing a small number of dishes may be a more water-efficient option.

Taking long showers: Taking a long shower can use up a lot of water. Try to limit your showers to 5-10 minutes.

Using a hose to wash your car: Washing your car with a hose can use a lot of water. Consider using a bucket instead, or take your car to a car wash that recycles water.

Watering your plants during the day: Watering your plants during the day can cause the water to evaporate quickly, wasting water. It's best to water your plants in the morning or evening, when the sun is less intense.
