Introduction to Water-efficiency
Water is an extremely important resource and whilst our planet is covered in the stuff, only 3% of that water can be used by the entire human population. Lack of water in certain parts of the world is already starting to cause confrontation and therefore it is important we all respect water consumption.
Water from the mains takes a lot of energy to pump into our households and when it is cleaned a lot of chemicals are used in the process which can cause problems with biodiversity.
There is also the problem of flooding due to over-use of water and the paving of more and more green areas, which push more water into the sewer system. During storms this can cause flooding which in turn can cause misery.
There are many ways in which each of us can reduce the amount of water we use and make better use of water. Therefore we hope you find our advice useful and if you have any of your own ideas you would like included then come and let us know on the forum.
