Abstract
The present invention is directed towards a toilet water reclamation system that conserves water by using reclaimed water. The system comprises a first receptacle that nests into a second receptacle, which is secured to the toilet tank cover. Shower water, or other water, is collected in the first receptacle and allowed to sit until it is ready to be used. When the toilet is flushed, the first receptacle is lifted from the second receptacle and its contents are poured into the second receptacle. The second receptacle has an aperture to allow the passage of the water into the toilet tank, replacing the flushed water.
