North Carolina Drought Information

I just became aware of a website with North Carolina drought information.

http://www.ncdrought.org

It is filled with information about current drought conditions. But more importantly, it contains information about water conservation tips:

We all need to do our part in order to save this economically and environmentally important resource.

Some tips that I follow:

Tip #1: Use indoor water wisely...Turn off water while lathering, shampooing, shaving and brushing your teeth. (I have started practicing this. Not as much an inconvenience as you might think).

Tip #2: Use dry cleanup methods...Use a broom instead of a hose to wash away debris on your sidewalks and driveways. (I have always done this. Much easier to grab a broom than a hose).
