With current technologies the benefits of water conservation can be realized without any sacrifice of comfort or convenience. Conservation of water can help to insure that communities have an adequate supply of clean drinking water, with enough left over for wildlife and recreational uses. Reduced water consumption can extend the life of wells, and is good for water treatment facilities and septic systems as well. Finally, since water use is frequently heated water use, effective water conservation measures are also likely to lead to reduced energy bills as well.
