Water efficiency

The future looks bleak for water consumers: increased demand, climate change and population growth are all putting a strain (and a higher price) on our most precious resource. Experts say the nation needs to change its long term water habits to avoid further threats to its water supply. But how can we as individuals make a difference?

Saving water at home and in your garden is easier than you think. We’ve come up with a list of helpful suggestions that could make a long term difference to your water habits – and save you money, too. More importantly, by being water efficient we have the power to put pressure on our water suppliers to improve the quality of their service – meaning less waste from old pipes, and cleaner, more easily available water for everyone.

Being water efficient isn’t just down to consumers. The government and water suppliers can contribute to cutting water wastage and reducing water costs to the consumer and the planet. The more water efficient we are, the more we can apply pressure to the water industry to improve their service.
