More than 70% of our daily water use is in the bathroom. And this doesn’t even include leaky taps or toilets! By simply…

• Turning the tap off when brushing your teeth. It will save more than 2 full buckets of water a day.
• Using a water displacement device in your toilet cistern and save 1 to 2 litres with every flush.
• Cutting showers to just 5 minutes, our region could save over 100 million litres of water every single day - that's like leaving a tap running for 30 years! Using less hot water will lower also your gas and electricity bills and reduce the amount of carbon emissions released into the atmosphere.

There are many ways you can use less water in the kitchen and save carbon and money too. Some of our top tips include:

• Save 10 litres of precious water by running one full load of washing instead of two half loads.
• A running tap uses 15 litres every minute – so why not try washing your fruit and vegetables in a bowl of fresh water.
• Use every space in your dishwasher before putting it on as each cycle can use 15 litres of water.
