Water is precious.
To protect it, we all need to use less.
Our shifting climate and growing demand are already making water supplies less predictable for people and nature. But we can change things. People, businesses and the water industry - when we work together, it all adds up.
In England, we're using water faster than nature can replace.
In Wales, wetter winters and drier summers are putting pressure on our water supply.
5 billion + litres
If we keep using water like we do now, by 2055, we could be short by 5 billion litres a day in England.
5x as much
We all use more water than we think. The average person estimates they use 30 litres a day; in reality it's nearer 140 litres.
Litres add up
Saving 28 litres (about a kitchen sink full) in England or 38 litres (3 buckets) in Wales per person, per day will ensure there's enough water for generations to come.
Everyone has a part to play
The water industry is investing billions to fix leaks, upgrade infrastructure and increase supply, but there's still more to do.
That's where we all come in
Investment alone can't solve the challenge. We all need to play our part. The small, everyday choices made in homes and workplaces can make a big difference.
What you can do
Saving water starts here. You don't need to rethink how you live. Start with something small today. And when you're ready make another small change.
Start today
Shorten your shower
Four minutes total should do it. Setting a timer is easier than it sounds.
Fix those leaks
A dripping tap can waste up to 15 litres a day, while a leaky loo loses 400 litres a day.
Simple swaps
Swap the hose for a bucket or watering can
You'll do the same job with much less water.
Use a washing up bowl
If it takes you more than a minute to do the dishes, you'll save water with a bowl.
Go eco mode for your appliances
Eco mode on your dishwasher and washing machine can save up to 10 litres a day.
Plan ahead
Install a dual flush toilet
They can save up to 42 litres a day.
