One of the methods of reducing water consumption in Leh (technically located in a desert) is to re-use 'grey' water. If you want an example of grey water, suppose one man washes his hands, clothes and dishes in a small stream running through the village. A second man a few houses down washes his hands, clothes and dishes in the same stream, and so on... ad infinitum. Perhaps the local authority has seen a possible flaw in this scheme with their prohibition of washing in the streams of upper Leh.
