1. Rainwater harvesting systems: A building can be made water-efficient by collecting rainwater and using it for irrigation, gardening, and other non-potable uses.
2. Low-flow plumbing fixtures: Low-flow faucets, showerheads, and toilets can significantly reduce water consumption without compromising performance.
3. Water recycling systems: Greywater systems can be installed in buildings to reuse water from sinks, showers, and washing machines for non-potable uses.
4. Leak detection systems: Advanced leak detection systems can detect water leaks in a building and alert the building owner to take necessary action.
5. Drought-resistant landscaping: Water-wise landscaping can reduce water usage by planting drought-resistant plants and using efficient irrigation methods.
6. Smart irrigation systems: Smart irrigation systems can be programmed to adjust watering schedules based on weather conditions and soil moisture levels, saving water in the process.
7. Water-saving technology: Advanced water-saving technology, such as sensors that monitor water usage, can help building owners optimize water usage and save costs.
