Many new dishwashers use ~1/3 the water of average dishwashers. Ditto for front loading clothes washing machines. Low flow shower heads can drop the flow from ~3-4 gallons per minute to ~1-1.5 gallons per minute, and some of them have temporary shutoff valves on them so you can turn them off while you are washing, and then turn it back on again when you need to rinse.
There are now gray water systems that flush your toilet with the water you have already used once in the bathroom sink.

I looooooooove waterless urinals. How do they work, exactly? I know there's oil, which sets atop water and urine, masking the odor, but what beyond this. Like, where does my urine go, Neil?!
I love the grey water for the toilet, too.
