Engineer and Iowa Park farmer Joe Orender has come up with a couple of creative ways to conserve water. He takes condensed water from his air conditioner and sends it to a bucket where he collects it and uses it for his garden and uses it to keep his chickens hydrated.
He first came up with the idea in 2014 out of necessity to conserve water during what became the most devastating drought in the history of Wichita Falls. It lasted 5 years from 2010 to 2015 and even impacted surrounding cities. After the drought ended, Orender decided to keep using his inventions.
