When rinsing vegetables fill a bowl or the sink with some water instead of letting the tap run.
Take shorter showers.
Fill up a bottle and put it in the fridge for drinking instead of running the tap until cold water comes out.
Water lawns early in the morning to allow the water to percolate into the soil and not evaporate immediately due to solar energy.
Allow lawns to grown longer in dry weather so that the grass retains the moisture and does not require such frequent watering (also good for insects!).
Use a drip irrigation system instead of a sprinkler.
Cover swimming pools when not in use.
Use swimming pool water from the back-washing or draining operations to water lawns and plants.
Collect rainwater to water plants.
Rainwater harvesting allows water to be collected so that it can be used later.
