During the big Nor Cal drought of the 70's we used to shower with a bucket and then use the water to flush with.

I have a basement, so it would be nice to have a spring-loaded valve at the sinks and shower that would let me temporarily redirect the drain water into a cistern in the basement. That way, if I'm just waiting for the water to warm up, or washing with biodegradeable products, I could reclaim that water. I already have redirected my washing machine into the flower beds below the front of the house. Keeps the ivy green without using extra water.
