One way to conserve water usage in your toilet without having to spend money on a new dual flush or low flow model is as inexpensive as buying a bottle of soda!
Grab two empty 1 liter bottles and put an inch or two of sand inside each to weigh them down. Then fill the rest of the bottle with water, screw the lid on tight, and put the bottles in your toilet tank. Be sure they are not in a place where it can interfere with the toilet’s operating mechanisms. Test it out to make sure it flushes suitably. If you find that you need more water than is being produced, then take one of the bottle’s out and retest. This simple solutions can save you between 3000-4000 gallons of water per year! Couple that with a low flow shower head and you save enough water per year to fill a full sized in ground swimming pool. And anyone with such a pool knows how expensive it is to fill each year!
