You can do this in a couple of ways:</p>\n<h2><strong>Install a Toilet Tank Displacement Bag</strong></h2>\n<p>One way to <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/how-to-videos-water-conservation\">retrofit an older</a> toilet is to install a toilet tank displacement bag in your toilet tank. Once filled with water, the bag will displace about .5 gallons of water in your toilet tank so that your older toilet will use less water each time it is flushed. Many <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/consortium-members\">water suppliers</a> give them out to their customers for free, or you can purchase one at most home improvement stores.</p>\n<h2><strong>Install a Toilet Fill Cycle Diverter</strong></h2>\n<p>Another way to <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/how-to-videos-water-conservation\">retrofit older toilets</a> is to install a fill cycle diverter. The fill cycle diverter is a simple plastic device that directs more water to the tank and less to the bowl while they refill so that they finish filling at roughly the same time. Once installed, a fill cycle diverter will save about .5 gallons of water with each toilet flush.</p>\n<h3>How a Toilet Fill Cycle Diverter Works</h3>\n<p>When a toilet is flushed, both the tank and the bowl need to be refilled.

You can do this in a couple of ways:</p>\n<h2><strong>Install a Toilet Tank Displacement Bag</strong></h2>\n<p>One way to <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/how-to-videos-water-conservation\">retrofit an older</a> toilet is to install a toilet tank displacement bag in your toilet tank. Once filled with water, the bag will displace about .5 gallons of water in your toilet tank so that your older toilet will use less water each time it is flushed. Many <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/consortium-members\">water suppliers</a> give them out to their customers for free, or you can purchase one at most home improvement stores.</p>\n<h2><strong>Install a Toilet Fill Cycle Diverter</strong></h2>\n<p>Another way to <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/how-to-videos-water-conservation\">retrofit older toilets</a> is to install a fill cycle diverter. The fill cycle diverter is a simple plastic device that directs more water to the tank and less to the bowl while they refill so that they finish filling at roughly the same time. Once installed, a fill cycle diverter will save about .5 gallons of water with each toilet flush.</p>\n<h3>How a Toilet Fill Cycle Diverter Works</h3>\n<p>When a toilet is flushed, both the tank and the bowl need to be refilled. For many older toilets, the bowl will fill sooner than the tank. In this case, the water will continue to run into the bowl until the tank water level is high enough to shut off the fill valve. Water that enters the bowl after it is full simply overflows down the drain and it wasted.</p>\n<p>The fill cycle diverter driects more water to the tank and less to the bowl while they refill. The goal is to have the tank and the bowl finish filling at the same time, or as close to the same time as possible.</p>\n<p>Many <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/consortium-members\">water providers</a> give them out to their customers for free, or you can purchase one at most home improvement stores or online.</p>\n<p><strong>See&nbsp;how to retrofit your toilet </strong><a href=\"http://conserveh2o.org/how-to-videos-water-conservation\">here</a>.</p>\n',1350513097,1350426697,'',0),('2:63a935b82e92a03a4764fe5be062152b','<h1>Lawn Alternatives</h1>\n<p style=\"padding-bottom: 0.4em; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; color: #333333; padding-top: 0.4em\">The Pacific Northwest has many spectacular native, hybrid native, and other&nbsp;<a href=\"http://conserveh2o.org/using-water-efficient-plants\" style=\"padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; color: #318ca7; text-decoration: underline; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"plants\">plants</a>&nbsp;adapted to local climate and soil conditions.&nbsp; Once established, these plants are very low maintenance, require little to no pesticides or fertilizers, and survive well on available water.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-bottom: 0.4em; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; color: #333333; padding-top: 0.4em\">Depending on your site&rsquo;s growing conditions and how you would like to utilize your landscape, you may want to consider one of the following alternatives to lawn:</p>\n<p style=\"padding-bottom: 0.4em; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; color: #333333; padding-top: 0.4em\"><strong style=\"padding-bottom: 0px; font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; font-weight: bold; padding-top: 0px\">Alternative Seed Mixes:</strong>&nbsp;Another popular alternative to turf has been the emergence of alternative lawn seed mixes used for areas that traditionally have been dedicated to turf grasses.&nbsp; In general, alternative lawn seed mixes contain low growing, drought tolerant plant varieties that require less mowing and irrigation once established.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-bottom: 0.4em; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; color: #333333; padding-top: 0.4em\"><strong style=\"padding-bottom: 0px; font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; font-weight: bold; padding-top: 0px\">Groundcovers:</strong>&nbsp;Groundcovers come in a wide variety of textures and colors, and some have interesting features like flowers and berries.&nbsp; Once established, groundcovers typically require much less water than lawns.

Municipal drinking water supplies come from surface water sources (rivers and lakes), or groundwater (wells), or a mix of the two.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>While some people living in rural areas have their own wells, in urban areas there are public water providers that plan and manage a complex network of facilities that move water from a variety of sources to your home or business. This water supply infrastructure is made up of water treatment plants, pump stations, reservoirs, in-town storage tanks, and thousands of miles of pipes. The various water systems are individually managed by cities, water districts, and public utility districts. The people employed by these agencies work hard to ensure that the public&rsquo;s water needs are met 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Helping regional water providers manage their water supplies efficiently and safely are primary goals of a group called the Regional Water Providers Consortium, a group of over 20 <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/consortium-members\" title=\"Consortium member list\">members</a> that include water providers and Metro.

Here in the Portland metro area, summer water use often doubles or triples due to outdoor watering.</p>\n<p>The reason for this is often because people don&rsquo;t know how much water their landscape needs. And, it&rsquo;s one reason why irrigation &mdash; whether it&rsquo;s a single sprinkler attached to a hose or a sophisticated underground system &mdash; is a key component to your water conservation efforts.</p>\n<p>Below are some basic&nbsp;watering tips to get you started. For more in-depth information check out the rest of our watering section.</p>\n<ol>\n	<li><strong>Water When Temperatures Are Cooler and the Air is Calmer</strong>&nbsp;<br />\n		Make sure you water before 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m. when temperatures are cooler and the afternoon winds have calmed so that evaporation is kept to a minimum.&nbsp;<br />\n		&nbsp;</li>\n	<li><strong>Group Plants With Similar Water Needs</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />\n		&nbsp;</li>\n	<li><strong>Know How Much and Often To Water</strong>&nbsp;<br />\n		On average, we recommend watering your lawn about an inch a week &ndash; a bit more during long, hot, dry spells and a bit less during the cooler spring and fall. &nbsp;Trees, shrubs and perennials typically don&rsquo;t need water as frequently, however they may require more volume at each cycle, so it is best to check with your local garden center or landscape professional on your plant&rsquo;s specific watering needs.&nbsp;<br />\n		&nbsp;</li>\n	<li><strong><a name=\"soilabsorbtion\"></a>Apply the Amount of Water Your Soil Can Absorb</strong>&nbsp;<br />\n		Watering thoroughly, but infrequently, will help roots go deeper, resulting in more water-efficient, drought-tolerant plants. This is one reason the Consortium recommends watering one or two times per week.&nbsp;<br />\n		<br />\n		But, the amount you water should be based on your landscape&rsquo;s soil conditions and plant needs. &nbsp;Here in the Pacific Northwest, soils are typically clay or sandy loam which may take longer for the water to penetrate. &nbsp;Run off and puddling are visible cues that water is being applied at a quicker rate than it can be absorbed.&nbsp;<br />\n		<br />\n		If this occurs, you may want to use a &ldquo;cycle and soak&rdquo; pattern for your watering. To do this, apply water in several shorter sessions each day that you water. This will allow the water to soak gradually into the soil in between the watering sessions and allow for better water absorption and to prevent run-off.<br />\n		<br />\n		For example, if your watering schedule is 40 minutes per week and you plan to water two days per week, your new &ldquo;cycle &amp; soak&rdquo; schedule might be to water for 10 minutes at 6 a.m. and then again for 10 minutes at 8 a.m. each day that you water.<br />\n		&nbsp;</li>\n	<li><strong>Set It, But Don&#39;t Forget It</strong>&nbsp;<br />\n		The key to efficient irrigation is to adjust watering schedules frequently during the irrigation season. If you set your automatic controller once for the hottest part of the summer and let it run all season, you will waste a lot of water. Most modern controllers allow you to easily adjust your&nbsp;watering schedule&nbsp;based on the weather.</li>\n</ol>\n',1351790148,1351703748,'',0),('linkchecker:2:e43b6a60aba812e1f2936ec18c265115','<h1>Watering Basics</h1>\n<p>The greatest waste of water is watering too much, too often.

Since each sprinkler puts out water at a set rate, knowing your sprinklers can  help you determine when and how much to water your landscape.</p>\n<p>You can use the Consortium Watering Gauges to figure this out.  Here’s how:</p>\n<ol>\n<li> Place the Consortium Watering Gauge and 2–5 other containers of similar shape and depth (e.g., tuna cans) at different distances from your sprinkler.</li>\n<li> Run the sprinkler for 30 minutes.</li>\n<li>Measure the total number of inches in the gauges/cans and then divide the total by the number of cans to get an average depth.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>\n<img src=\"/images/watering_step1_table.gif\" alt=\"6 cans ÷ 6 inches = 1 Inch per ½ hour\" width=\"345\" height=\"25\" /></p>\n<h2>Step 2: Decide when and how much to water</h2>\n<p>\nSince over watering is so common, we recommend creating a  thorough but infrequent watering schedule such as before 10 a.m. or after 6  p.m. on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.\n</p>\n<p><img src=\"/images/watering_step2_table.gif\" alt=\"table 2\" width=\"345\" height=\"50\" /></p>\n<h2>Step 3: Use local weather conditions to help determine watering needs</h2>\n<p>\nWatering smart means thinking like a plant by using local  weather conditions to help determine how much water your plants and lawn  actually need. Use Consortium’s weekly ET number to determine how much to water  during each time on your schedule. Here’s how:\n</p>\n<ol type=\"1\">\n<li>Divide the weekly ET number by the number of times you will water that week.</li>\n<li>This is the amount (in inches) you will water each time during the week.</li>\n</ol>\n<p class=\"tips\"><strong>For example: </strong>An  ET value of 1 means your lawn should get 1 inch of water that week. If your  sprinkler waters an inch each half hour, you will set your sprinkler system to  water .33 inches each time (or 10 minutes using the example from step 1).</p>\n<p class=\"tips\"><br />\n      <img src=\"/images/watering_step3_table.gif\" alt=\"table 3\" width=\"345\" height=\"50\" /></p>\n<p>Some key things to remember when using ET as a guide to  creating a watering schedule your landscape include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li> ET varies  for different plant types.</li>\n<li> ET changes  depending on the weather.</li>\n<li>ET is  affected by the amount of sun, wind and air temperature.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Step 4: Tailor your watering to plant needs</h2>\n<p>\n  <img src=\"/images/ETcopy.jpg\" alt=\"\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" width=\"197\" height=\"500\" align=\"right\" />Water needs vary from plant to plant. For example, turf  generally requires more water than plants, shrubs and trees. Setting your  sprinklers to water turf separately from shrubs and perennials will allow you  to tailor your watering schedule for each major section of your landscape.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Determine which plant types are located in different areas  of your yard and then use these general guidelines to create watering schedules  to fit the needs for the different zones in your yard:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Trees — 50% of ET until established, then set to soak in July and August</li>\n<li>Shrubs — 50% of ET</li>\n<li>Lawns — 100% of ET (shady areas 60%)</li>\n<li>Vegetables — 75% of ET</li>\n</ul>\n<p>\n    <img src=\"/images/watering_step4_table.gif\" alt=\"Table 4\" width=\"345\" height=\"150\" /></p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"/outdoors/irrigation/evapotranspiration\">&lt;&lt;previous</a></p>',1351790148,1351703748,'',0),('linkchecker:2:62ee91299d342ae09453fec321716eea','<h1>Create a Weekly Watering Schedule</h1>\n<p>You may have heard the phrase \"water lawns 1 inch a week.\"  While this is a good general rule for most of the summer, weather is constantly changing and so should your watering schedule.</p>\n<h2>Step 1: Get to know your sprinkler</h2>\n<p>\nOver watering is the most common problem in home landscapes.

Municipal drinking water supplies come from surface water sources (rivers and lakes), or groundwater (wells), or a mix of the two.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>While some people living in rural areas have their own wells, in urban areas there are public water providers that plan and manage a complex network of facilities that move water from a variety of sources to your home or business. This water supply infrastructure is made up of water treatment plants, pump stations, reservoirs, in-town storage tanks, and thousands of miles of pipes. The various water systems are individually managed by cities, water districts, and public utility districts. The people employed by these agencies work hard to ensure that the public&rsquo;s water needs are met 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Helping regional water providers manage their water supplies efficiently and safely are primary goals of a group called the Regional Water Providers Consortium, a group of over 20 <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/consortium-members\" title=\"Consortium member list\">members</a> that include water providers and Metro. The Consortium was formed in 1997 after a multi-year effort that resulted in the creation of a regional <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/regional-water-supply-plan\" title=\"Water Supply Plan Information\">water supply plan</a>. The group&rsquo;s responsibilities have grown from planning for the region&rsquo;s water needs to implementing <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/water-conservation-program\" title=\"conservation program information\">conservation</a> and <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/emergency-preparedness-program\" title=\"Emergency Preparedness Program Info\">emergency preparedness</a> programs.&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Water supplies</h2>\n<p>Some areas receive all of their water from one source; other areas use a number of sources.

Municipal drinking water supplies come from surface water sources (rivers and lakes), or groundwater (wells), or a mix of the two.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>While some people living in rural areas have their own wells, in urban areas there are public water providers that plan and manage a complex network of facilities that move water from a variety of sources to your home or business. This water supply infrastructure is made up of water treatment plants, pump stations, reservoirs, in-town storage tanks, and thousands of miles of pipes. The various water systems are individually managed by cities, water districts, and public utility districts. The people employed by these agencies work hard to ensure that the public&rsquo;s water needs are met 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Helping regional water providers manage their water supplies efficiently and safely are primary goals of a group called the Regional Water Providers Consortium, a group of over 20 <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/consortium-members\" title=\"Consortium member list\">members</a> that include water providers and Metro. The Consortium was formed in 1997 after a multi-year effort that resulted in the creation of a regional <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/regional-water-supply-plan\" title=\"Water Supply Plan Information\">water supply plan</a>.

Municipal drinking water supplies come from surface water sources (rivers and lakes), or groundwater (wells), or a mix of the two.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>While some people living in rural areas have their own wells, in urban areas there are public water providers that plan and manage a complex network of facilities that move water from a variety of sources to your home or business. This water supply infrastructure is made up of water treatment plants, pump stations, reservoirs, in-town storage tanks, and thousands of miles of pipes. The various water systems are individually managed by cities, water districts, and public utility districts. The people employed by these agencies work hard to ensure that the public&rsquo;s water needs are met 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Helping regional water providers manage their water supplies efficiently and safely are primary goals of a group called the Regional Water Providers Consortium, a group of over 20 <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/consortium-members\" title=\"Consortium member list\">members</a> that include water providers and Metro. The Consortium was formed in 1997 after a multi-year effort that resulted in the creation of a regional <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/regional-water-supply-plan\" title=\"Water Supply Plan Information\">water supply plan</a>. The group&rsquo;s responsibilities have grown from planning for the region&rsquo;s water needs to implementing <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/water-conservation-program\" title=\"conservation program information\">conservation</a> and <a href=\"http://www.conserveh2o.org/emergency-preparedness-program\" title=\"Emergency Preparedness Program Info\">emergency preparedness</a> programs.&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Water supplies</h2>\n<p>Some areas receive all of their water from one source; other areas use a number of sources.

However, the amount of water available from each water source may vary from month to month, and the amount of water used by households in the summer months can be two to three times more than what is used in the winter months. It is also important to keep sufficient water in the rivers and streams to meet the needs of fish and aquatic life, as well as for other users.</p>\n<h2>What can you do?&nbsp;</h2>\n<p>Be smart with the water you use so that there is plenty to go around.
