Simple Ways to Save Water

Choose water-efficient appliances

There are large differences in the amount of water used by different brands of washing machines and dishwashers. Choosing appliances that are sparing with water will reduce your consumption.

Cut down on car-washing water

A large proportion of the domestic water that is used outside the home gets consumed in washing cars. Although a car that is regularly washed will generally last longer, nothing is to be gained by overdoing it: obsessive car-washing just wastes water

Recycle your kitchen water

Dirty washing-up water is generally harmless to plants. Using it to water your vegetable garden will save tap water in summer.
