Take a “sea shower!” Navy and Coast Guard do just this.
Shower on for a minute to get wet. Turn shower off, soap up all that needs to be soaped, then rinse off. Saves a lot of fresh water that has to be made, by the ship, from salt water.

When stationed in Thule Greenland, we did the three minute dance.You shower one minute on. Then someone would turn the water off. You had one minute to soaped up. Then one minute to wash off the soap. If you did not get all the soap off, you had to wait a whole week before you could shower. It was timed by using a stop watch. All water waste was collected and use to flush the toilet. Which had a pump handle on the side and a foot pedal to dump the flushing water. You pressed the pedal then worked the pump. You had to keep the foot pedal pushed down. If you pumped then pushed the pedal down. The contents of the toilet flow back at you. you had to wash up using snow. If it was not the shower day. Change cloths outside. It no fun. Talk about cold!

When I got out, one of the things I vowed is that I would never take a Navy Shower again.

Well, their environmental policies and horrible water management has done this to them.

I would say this kind of thing should elect politicians who vow to reject it and increase the supply by any possible means. Maybe it will hurt the idiotic environmentalists out there.

If it doesn’t, the citizens deserve what they get.
