Climate change is likely to cause the water supply to become more unpredictable and precarious as time goes on. While the UK is famously rainy, water companies don’t capture much of that rainwater, and about half of England’s water companies are subject to serious stress already. The average person uses about 140 liters of potable water daily, with showers and toilets being the main culprits for inefficient usage. Installing more water-efficient appliances, taking shorter showers, and using cold water when possible can all help use less water.

Key Takeaways:

• The water that people use at home accounts for more than half of all public water use.
• Installing water-saving devices for toilets can help conserve water and save you money.
• Take short showers instead of baths, and use cold water whenever possible.
