CONSERVING WATER

	Cooperative Extension Service Centers are located in each county and the Cherokee Reservation.  Home economics agents can provide technical assistance and other information on water conservation inside the home or workplace.  Staff can refer you to businesses and organizations which sell conservation equipment such as low-flush toilets, low-flow showerheads, and faucet aerators.  Agricultural agents provide information on water conservation in the yard, garden, or farm and can refer you to sources for equipment such as rain cisterns and drip irrigation systems.  Both your agricultural agent and staff in the home economics section distribute publications on water conservation techniques.
