Once saw a sign on a large grating covered hole in the wall.
The original sign "air intake" was replaced by
"Danger, entrance to warped space, Physic Dept. only".

On a more serious note: This is similar to how astronauts wash in space. Take a bit of water and soap, rub it over your body. Soak it up with a towel. It does save a lot of water.

Bad news is, if you want to shower for ten minutes, you will have to fall for 1766 km. But the good news is: you will automatically dry on re-entry!

Or before. Body heat should be enough to freeze-dry the skin. Better lather quick before the water hardens though.

There are these upwards wind tunnels where you can "fall down" for as long as they have electricity. Slow them down and you can stand on the ground while the water doesn't fall down.

You can have the same horizontally even without electricity in any town with sufficiently high skyscrapers.

Not perpetual motion -- so allowed by PF rules -- but I find the wet stick-figure dude hilarious along with the solemn admonition to save water.
