Water is a precious resource
Each and every drop from your tap has been on a remarkable journey through storage, treatment and transportation. Being careful with water helps to ensure there’s enough to go around and protects the natural environment.
Factors like climate change and population growth are putting pressure on water resources. By 2050, average daily water usage will need to fall from 145 litres to 110 litres per person, per day.
Saving water can help you save money. If you’re on a water meter, being careful with water will reduce your water bills. Even if you’re not on a meter, using less heated water can bring down your energy bills.

Do you know how you use your water every day?

Most of it goes on showers, baths and sinks (40%), then toilet flushing (25%) and kitchen use (22%). The rest is used outside (7%) or for other things such as swimming/paddling pools, leaky taps and loos (6%).
