The snow pack is not nearly high enough from our mild winter and many farmers have right to be concerned as they will be cut another 20% of there usual water supply. <br />
If we have a hot summer with little rain there will be many farmers in danger of losing crops and additional water cuts could be on the horizon for the Okanagan. <br />

So what can we do as individuals to ensure we are doing our part to conserve water? I suggest start with simple water saving tactics like getting low flow toilets, low flow water taps and low flow shower heads like the ones at TLC Energy Solutions. Our 2 GPM shower heads alone can conservatively save a two person house hold, taking five minuet showers once a day, over 1825 gallons of water per year. This is assuming you already have a 2.5 GPM low flow shower head, which means even more water can be saved in some cases.<br />
