There are at least a couple of ways to save water while cleaning yourself: Spend less time in the shower or use less water while you're there.Margaret Doyle of Raleigh does both. More than a decade ago, she bought a low-flow shower head that she estimates uses about half the water the old one did. Doyle says it was at least partly a money-saving move."I've always been very conscious of where the pennies went, for electricity and the gas and the water," she says.Doyle says she doesn't miss the cascading blast of her old shower head. Well, maybe a little when she experiences a full-power shower someplace else."And then you go home, and there's a little one dribbling out there," she says. "But you say, 'Well, I'm saving water.' "
