You are going to make a plan on how to conserve water in your home and apply this plan for at least one month. To verify if your plan in conserving water is successful, you need to attach your bill for this month and then your bill the next month. Your Conservation Plan is successful if the amount of current versus previous bill is negative. If your plan is successful, continue applying it. If not, identify lapses in your plan and revise it. You may have your own format. Enumerafe all uses of water. Do this in a long bond paper.
