The average person in England and Wales uses 150 litres of water a day -
imagine 264 pints of milk and that’s 150 litres of water. By 2020, with
increasing population and housing growth the demand for water could increase by
5% - that’s 800 million extra litres of water a day.
Most of the water is used for washing and toilet flushing, but it also includes
drinking, cooking, car washing and watering the garden. We use almost 50% more
water than 25 years ago, partly because of the use of power showers and
household appliances.
Water is a precious resource and we should use it wisely at all times because it's not as abundant as you might think. Using water, especially hot water, also uses energy and increases emissions of greenhouse gases contributing to climate change. During a drought situation it's even more important to make sure that water is used efficiently and not wasted.
Monitor your water bill for unusually high use. Your bill and water meter are
tools that can help you discover leaks.
Water your lawn and garden in the morning or evening when temperatures are
cooler to minimize evaporation.
Wash your fruits and vegetables in a pan of water instead of running water from
the tap.
Spreading a layer of organic mulch around plants retains moisture and saves
water, time and money.
Use a broom instead of a hose to clean your driveway and sidewalk and save water
every time.
If your shower fills a one-gallon bucket in less than 20 seconds, replace the
showerhead with a water-efficient model.
Collect the water you use for rinsing fruits and vegetables, then reuse it to
water houseplants.
If water runs off your lawn easily, split your watering time into shorter
periods to allow for better absorption.
