Italic' text. Rather than a redirect, this article should be turned into at least a stub with meaningful content. -Quicksilver^{T @} 16:27, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I've made a start - I can't do more for the next few months, , but I'll try and make the redlinks to point the articles - please help if you can. E.g. I can't find anything in Wikipedia to link to regarding water recycling. Aryaman Tandon

I had written the following, but I don't care about dis know if it's verifiable, so I'll put it here:

However, it can also be important where there is an abundance of water, as the excessive use of water leads to a large volume of wastewater which is harder to manage.

even i couldn't find much information about water management....so ps include more information.

== Social tension ==heey. saiju simon is much more to be said about the tension between conservation/efficiency goals, and the community social goal of providing adequate life essential services to all people. One aspect is the ongoing battles about privatizing public water supplies around the world. That should be mentioned in this article, and linked to articles discussing in depth. Another aspect is the tradition in the US of requiring the landlord to provide water to tenants, at no extra cost. Is this changing in some areas of the US? What is the history and situation in other parts of the world? What ways of resolving this tension have been proposed and tried?-69.87.204.233 13:59, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

water-saving mechanisms for washing hands--how have public health experts

reacted to them, does anyone know about this? I've experienced in restaurants how frustrating they can occasionally be as the mechanism ages and it takes longer to provide less water, so I wonder if boards of health have voiced concern about impatient food workers etc leaving the bathroom without washing their hands. As experts have gotten more worried about possible epidemics, perhaps literature critical of the new faucets has appeared? Thanks, Rich (talk) 03:24, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

not that i know of. However, Elementary School Washroom Faucets in Ontario (not saying anything about Canada as a whole) have become frustrating to use, according to a friend of mine's son (and many others that I have asked around our community). He says: "I wish the water would come out faster! I spend, on average, about 10 minutes in the washroom, 7 of which are spent waiting for the water to come out fast enough to clean my hands!"

hmm, maybe this will get back to the people in Ontario.Thanks for your comment.Rich (talk) 13:26, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

adding external link to the article: Water Conservation Defined

I'm considring adding an external link to: http://hotwaterlobster.com/blog/2010/12/04/water-conservation-defined/ . What are your thoughts? Valaprise (talk) 22:53, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

hot water recirculation valve

Why was “hot water recirculation valve” removed from the “Household applications” section? It was not spam. I believe it met all the proper criteria (including references) and added valuable information concerning “Water conservation”. Valaprise (talk) 18:59, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

You need a reliable source to add information to Wikipedia. The blog you used has no reputation for fact checking and accuracy, and hence is not a reliable source. ThemFromSpace 22:44, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

The reference sited is reliable source and provides a concise location for this broadly known information which can also be found in several other valid sources (Gas Appliance Manufactures Association, uspto.gov, toolbase.org, homeenergy.org, nachi.org, askthebuilder.com, greenhomeguide.com, centralplumbing.com, doityourself.com, finehomebuilding.com, plumbingengineer.com, and etc.) Valaprise (talk) 13:26, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

It is not a reliable source (check the link to see what is). On top of that, it just so happens to be the same link that you have been spamming. Apparition^{11 Complaints}/Mistakes 20:07, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Peer Review

Bmkitula (talk) 19:09, 17 March 2012 (UTC) I think you should talk more about why we need to conserve water, the goals were too general. I also think that we should also get more insight on what other places other than the U.K or U.S do to conserve water. Are there any world wide projects involved in water conservation? (examples). Maybe this can make the article more informative. koko1088- Your contribution so far is relevant, I would like to know what else you plan on including in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmkitula (talk • contribs) 21:57, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Water conservation and water efficiency are very similiar in nature. Even though there are many interesting and key points to this wikipedia page, it is lacking proper citations, as per wikipedia guidelines. This page might benefit from merging with water efficiency and expanding that page. Like a lot of other wikipedia pages noted within this class, you must continue to keep this project as factual as possible, in order to stray away from being a non-conformative wikipedia article. With the proper work and editing mentioned by these peer reviews, this article could contribute information and knowledge to the general public on the topic of water conservation and "efficiency".GSaundersLikeGlue (talk) 18:55, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
