Our house has rain water only.
When the tanks get half empty, we limit ourselves to about 5 litres for each bath. Which is plenty really when you put it in a camping shower.
Water saved from the shower can be reused to flush the toilet.
I don't use any water on the garden.
Only the hardiest and most drought resistant plants have survived. Aloe Vera, Lavender, Geraniums, Climbing Rose, Crucifix Orchids along with a variety of succulents and cactus. Surprisingly the fruit trees are hanging in there. The Cumquat trees are a mass of flowers and fruit as well as the macadamia nut trees.
