Perhaps this is a little off-topic, but I&#x27;m convinced we can save a lot of water by replacing showering with steaming (followed by super short shower to rinse). I recently bought a facial steamer for allergy issues. 50ml of water get&#x27;s me more steam than I can bother to use. I&#x27;m usually done with 20ml.<p>I can&#x27;t help but imagine that 1L of water would produce plenty of steam to clean us off. If we then have a quick shower, say 30 sec. Not only are we saving water, but probably also time, and you get a much cleaner, fresher feeling.<p>We use about 35L of water to shower per person each day (I know I use more), and assuming we have 1 shower a day (I generally have 2), then we are roughly saving 30L&#x2F;p&#x2F;day.<p>We use about 120L&#x2F;p&#x2F;day so saving 30L is a 25% saving. Now that is pretty big.<p>I&#x27;m not pretending I know how to get everyone to steam instead of shower - perhaps Las Vegas hotels could include steamers, and encourage people to steam followed by a super short shower. But just saying if we wanted to make our water last longer, we do have a way that doesn&#x27;t involve loosing anything of real value (I&#x27;m assuming everyone agrees that a quick steam is equivalent to a shower).<p>* Daily water use per person <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.melbournewater.com.au&#x2F;waterdata&#x2F;wateruse&#x2F;pages&#x2F;default.aspx" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.melbournewater.com.au&#x2F;waterdata&#x2F;wateruse&#x2F;pages&#x2F;de...</a><p>* Water use for shower, <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.yvw.com.au&#x2F;home&#x2F;inyourhome&#x2F;understandingyourwateruse&#x2F;index.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.yvw.com.au&#x2F;home&#x2F;inyourhome&#x2F;understandingyourwater...</a> ~ 7L&#x2F;m * 5min = 35L&#x2F;shower
