To utilize water more efficiently, rice farmers are increasingly adopting less water-consuming farm practices.
Another interesting example that offers insights into processes of water resource management in Egypt are the recent attempts to shift cropping patterns toward less water-consuming crops.
While his wheat and alfalfa are less water-consuming than other crops, Briggs has seen other farmers switch out water-guzzling onions and corn for less-profitable bets such as hay.
In the past decade, Britain has been consuming less water, building materials, paper, food (especially meat), cars, textiles, fertilizers and much else.
Altogether our results indicate that the dwarf BR receptor mutant plants are more resistant while consuming less water, likely through avoiding the effects of drought (Fig. 3f).
Several new plants were ranked high in the final tables suggesting that the urban landscape of Tehran has a great potential to become more attractive, less allergic, and less costly, as well as consuming less water.
Smart toilets are another interesting feature, consuming less water with energy-saving features.
On the other hand, plants with moderate shoot growth can survive longer water deficit conditions by minimizing evaporative leaf surface area and consuming less water.
The difference in water consumption between Col-0 and the esk1-4 and esk1-5 lines was significant, with the mutants consuming less water than wild type.
You'll run your appliances less (and hey, less electricity, too!), consuming less water on a weekly basis.
Low-flow toilets from the big-name brands — Kohler, for instance, which has a patent on its new, innovative flush systems — outperform the standard toilets with which we grew up, consuming far less water yet flushing much more effectively.
