Drought Season

If you've been paying attention to the news, the Korean peninsula is facing the worst drought in 100 years. India's water shortage is so severe that some hospitals have canceled surgeries. Closer to home, much of the western United States is experiencing drought conditions.

Wasting water only makes the dire situation worse. An invisible and soundless toilet leak can leach away hundreds of gallons -- or even thousands, if you're this resident. So what can we do to help the situation?

The LeakAlertor, which made its debut in 2009, detects silent and invisible toilet leaks. It electronically monitors your toilet and notifies you visually and audibly when the flapper is leaking. It can't bring water to a parched region, but it can help conserve water that's already there before it literally gets flushed down the toilet.

How do you conserve water? Let us know in the comments.
