Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
Reduce the amount of "stuff" you use and reuse what you can. Recycle paper, plastic, cardboard, glass, aluminum and other materials.
Natural Alternatives
Use all natural/nontoxic household cleaners whenever possible. Materials such as lemon juice, baking soda, and vinegar make great cleaning products, are inexpensive, and environmentally-friendly.

Get involved in water education! Learn more about groundwater and share your knowledge with others.

Answer:

• Go Native. Use native plants in your landscape. ...

• Reduce Chemical Use. Use fewer chemicals around your home and yard, and make sure to dispose of them properly - don't dump them on the ground!

• Manage Waste. ...

Step-by-step explanation:

There are some easy ways to conserve water to help protect our aquifers, watersheds, and ground water. First, we can all conserve water, by not running the water while we brush our teeth and making sure we fix all leaking or dripping faucets. Another was to conserve water is to collect rain water to use to water your plants. Speaking of plants, you can also plant more zeroscape type landscapes that require less water. We can also update our shower heads and toilets to be low-flow and more efficient. Can't afford a new toilet? Simply add a brick to your tank and this will cut down on the water used for every flush.
