Did you know that 1/3 of the water we use in our homes comes from flushing the toilet? Well now there are systems called greywater reclemation systems. How do they work? They take the water from faucets and laundry and redirect to your toilet. So it gets reused before going to sewer or septic tank. Therefor it saves $$$ and conserves a ton of water.
Here's a link to one of the many companies who offer such systems http://aquaprosolutions.com/index_files/Brac_greywater_reclamation.htm
Other systems can be used for irrigation as well. Like this one...
