While he is saving water where he is really saving is electricity to heat the water. How much? Well, 1.39 cents per gallon for a sixty degree rise in temp (70 degree cold to 130).

Now is it worth it? Let me know what he says when you tell him. I Know what it saves and I only use the microwave for food prep.

Tell him to take out the light bulb in the door bell and save the equivalent of 143.9 gallons of hot water annually.
