If you flush 5 times less per day you save over 3500 gallons a year.

I tried teaching that to the kids, but now I'm in trouble with Nick /and/ my
parents, because my boys now never flush the toilet. :-(

Also worth considering harvesting rainwater in a bigger way than using 45
gal barrel system.
When we moved into Nanneys Bridge Nursery there was a large freestanding
tank ( swimming pool ! ) already installed
which delivered high pressure rainwater for irrigation. The capacity is
about 4,000 gals and it is filled by
water draining from the glasshouse roof.
We only do plants now on a small non-commercial basis and have reduced the
system to a medium pressure pond pump
powered system and it meets my needs most of the year.
