States With the Greatest Water-Saving Potential

Data from the Pacific Institute identifies U.S. states with the highest water-saving potential through efficiency upgrades—achieving the same results with less water.

Top 5 States:

  1. California: Urban water efficiency leader

  2. Texas: Growing population in increasingly dry climate

  3. Florida: High irrigation needs, aging infrastructure

  4. Arizona: Critical resource management needs

  5. Nevada: Desert conservation pioneer

California Example: Urban water use could drop 30–48% with modern efficiency measures.

4 Key Improvement Areas:

  • Leak repair in infrastructure and homes

  • Reduced outdoor/landscaping waste

  • Industrial equipment upgrades

  • Modern fixture installation (low-flow toilets, waterless urinals)

What Determines Savings Potential:

  • Population size (higher consumption = greater savings)

  • Climate/landscaping (arid regions with heavy irrigation)

  • Infrastructure age (older pipes = more leak recovery)

Economic Benefits:

  • Extended infrastructure lifespan

  • Sustainable population growth

  • Crisis prevention

  • Lower utility costs

Bottom Line: At Waterless Co., Inc., we believe protecting our most vulnerable resource starts with using it smarter. Water efficiency is the path to a sustainable future, regardless of location.
