Hi,
I hadn't heard of that phrase "warm up water" previously. however, that is xactley what my wife & I do. every time we require some hot water via out taps we collect the initial cold water in 2 litre containers e.g. juice/cordial bottles then transfer the water to our water tank. It usually takes 2 litres of cold water to come through before the warm water comes through. It is amazing how much water you can save (going down the drain) doing this process.
Regards
David

I think focusing on residential water use by government is a great smoke screen. While we all bicker between ourselves, industry wastes water and gets away with it.
Your neighbor looks at you sideways when you decide to give the verge tree that extra summer water, while 100m down the road, developers are pumping out ground water, all day everyday into storm water drain and nobody blinks an eye.

This is an interesting short documentary on Permaculture in Jordan. This is how we should be doing agriculture in Australia.
