for cold drinking water fill a jug from the tap and put it in the fridge to chill, that way you won't waste water by running the tap each time you want a drink of water by running the tap until the water tutns cold.

line the inside or terracotta plantpots with plastic and use mulch in borders - both will reduce evaporation, it halves the amount of water needed to keep your plants alive!

When you run water for a drink, catch the water you would usually let run until the waters cold and use that to water plants.
