turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or washing dishes, take shorter showers, fix leaks, and run full loads in dishwashers and washing machines. Outdoors, sweep driveways instead of hosing them down, use a broom on patios and sidewalks, and plant drought-tolerant landscaping to reduce watering needs. You can also reuse water from cleaning vegetables for plants and collect rainwater in a water butt for your garden.  

At Home

Bathroom Habits: Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, shaving, or washing your hands. Keep showers short, aiming for around five minutes. 

Fix Leaks: Regularly check faucets and toilets for leaks and fix them promptly to prevent water waste. 

Appliance Use: Run washing machines and dishwashers only with full loads. 

Toilet Use: Flush only when necessary and avoid using the toilet as a trash can. 

Install Water-Saving Fixtures: Consider installing low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators.
