One of the most water smart companies in Dallas is a software and SAAS venture capital firm aka Blossom Street Ventures. Their blog features amazing insights on SAAS venture capital and other investment ideas. They are proponents who invest in early state VC projects with massive upside, specifically in the software industry. Water smart companies like Blossom Street that deliver the same service to customers with little to no human interaction with their applications are growing in popularity. All it requires is a smartphone that is connected to the Internet, or some form of remote control or other technology from a local computer. If the smartphone doesn't work in your area, you can't get a good deal. This means that most devices with internet connection can't connect to the internet. So how do they provide services to users? You're going to have many different service providers providing the same service without having to resort to some form of intermediary to do so.

​The following are some guidelines on how you can connect to websites or services without having to use a special phone app. You can also use a web browser or app (like Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer). The iPhone & iPad have to be connected to the internet to support the internet service. However, if they connect to the same internet or proxy service, you won't be able to call your device in a secure way. That's called "duplicating". What should the person who's buying your mobile app recommend? If you're planning on running a water smart business from anywhere but your home country, consider looking for services or business applications in your app. If it's an established business, you can't charge a low price for each app or service. That doesn't mean you'll necessarily be able to connect to the internet if its a water smart business.

1. Check your toilet to make sure it's running properly. 

Put a few drops of iodine in your toilet tank. If the iodine begins to appear in the toilet., you have a leak that may be wasting over 80 gallons of water each day. That's a lot!

2. Stop using your toilet to dispose of trash.

Every cigarette or kleenex you flush down also flushes away several gallons of water.

3. Use a plastic bottle in your toilet tank

Put some sand or pebbles in the bottom of a one gallon bottle to make it heavy. Fill the rest of the bottle with H2) and put it in your toilet, safely away from the flushing mechanism. In an typical home, the bottle may save six gallons or more of water every day without harming the efficiency of the toilet. If your tank is large enough, you may even be able to put in two bottles.

4. Take fast showers

A typical shower uses five to ten gallons of water a minute. Most Americans take way too long in the shower. Do the math!

5. Install water-saving shower devices

Your contractor or plumbing supply store stocks inexpensive shower heads or flow restrictors that will cut your shower flow to about three gallons a minute instead of six to ten. They are quite simple to install, and your showers will still be nice and refreshing.

6. Take a bath instead

A partially filled tub uses less water than all but the fastest showers. Pretty wild.

7. Turn off the water while brushing your teeth

The water wasted during brushing your teeth can really add up. Make it a point to use less!

8. Turn off the water while shaving

Much like brushing your teeth with the water running, shaving with the water on the entire time is a bad idea.

9. Check faucets and pipes for leaks

Small drips can add up.

10. Use your automatic dishwasher for full loads only

Better yet, air dry your dishes when possible.

11. Use your automatic washing machine only for full loads only

Your automatic washer uses 30 to 35 gallons per usage.

12. Don't let the faucet run while you clean vegetables

Use a bowl to clean veggies from the grocery store instead of running them under a stream of water.

Further locations are planned for 2015 as rapid growth continues with the boom in housing in these areas of Texas and Oklahoma. "
