Generally, they are used to irrigate your lawn, by directing this used water outside and into the groud.

Saving When Washing

Many of the washing habits that people tend to develop use up more water than necessary, but their are some ways that you can save water while washing clothes. The first way is to reuse clothes/towels when possible, and to wash in full loads rather than in smaller seperate loads when you do have to wash them. This helps reduce load sizes and frequency of how many loads are run, so that less water is used overall. Another way to reduce water usage when washing is to forgo the extra rinse cycle that many washers have as part of their washing routine. Usually these are uneccesary as you shouldnt be using enough soap where it isnt washed off in the first rinse cycle. Source: https://wateruseitwisely.com/laundryroom/
