Waste of water

Where does water I use come from?
Northshore Utility District provides water from Cascade mountain through The Ceder River Reservoir and The South Fork Tolt River Reservoir where filtration plants are.

Where does my waste water go?
Northshoure Utility District's treatment plant is located in between Highway522 and Highway 9. Once our waste water gets there, it pulified by passing through 4 portals in outflow pipe which connects between Woodinville and northern Shoreline. The waste water is altimately drained into Puget Sound.

How much water do I use?
According to the survey, I use the average of 108.3gallons everyday, 758.5gallons everyweek and 39,497gallons annually. On the other hand, according to the actual utility bill simply divided by the number of households, I use 120gallons per day, 842gallons per week and 43,873gallons annually. Acknowledging that we have visitors at our house all the time, this tells that how much the waste of water can go up.

Recalling how small amount of water I used one time in my life.
When I visited Mongolia and stayed with the local family, I probably used only a gallon per day. In the morning, I used a cup of water to brush my teeth, wash my face and hands. The strategy that I was tought by the Mongolians was, first, brush your teeth and use the water to lins your teeth for washing your face with soap that you already put on by keeping the water in your mouth and spilling it little by little into your hand as you scrub your face. The weather is dry enough to evapolate their swet, so they seldom take a shawer every once a while. Their bath room is anywhere outside of Gel(traditional Mongolian house like a tent.) Water is precious for them because they can only get water from the river or the groundwater, so they know how to use water efficiently. I was inpired by them and felt ashame how much water people in advanced society demand and waste it.
After I came back from Mongolia, I was very aware of how much water I use and try not to use it. But now I'm in the U.S. and I use 100times more water. Of course it's almost impossible to use only 1gallon of water per day like I did in Mongolia because where I live and the situation is totally different. but I'm disappointed myself that I almost forget about how precious water is and enormous experience in Mongolia.
It is helpful to remember that I was able to use such a little amount of water when I think about what I can do to reduce the waste of water. I feel that what I have to do is just remember how I used it in Mongolia and make it my goal.
Don't let water out when I don't used it. Be aware of any leaks. and remind myself of the models(the Mongolians.) I'll start with these three goals.
