Water is one of our most valuable resources, and protecting it is something we can all help with. That’s why we’re supporting the new Let’s Save Water campaign, a nationwide initiative encouraging everyone to value water and use it wisely.
The campaign brings together water companies, regulators and partners across England and Wales with one shared goal: helping protect our precious water supplies for future generations.
Why saving water matters
Water is something many of us don’t think twice about. We turn on the tap and expect clean, fresh water to be there whenever we need it.
While that’s still the case, our water resources are under increasing pressure. Climate change is bringing warmer, drier summers alongside wetter winters, making it harder for rivers, reservoirs and underground water sources to recover naturally. At the same time, demand for water continues to grow.
Protecting our water isn’t just about having enough for our homes. It’s also about protecting rivers, wildlife and the environment.
Working together
The water industry is investing in new infrastructure, reducing leakage and improving the resilience of water supplies. At the same time, we all have an important role to play.
That’s why we’re supporting the Let’s Save Water campaign.
Simple changes made by everyone can make a real difference. By using water more efficiently every day, we can help protect this precious resource while continuing to enjoy the water we rely on.
Small changes can make a big difference
Many of us use more water than we realise during our daily routines. The average person in England uses almost 140 litres of water every day, but making a few simple changes can quickly reduce that amount.
Here are a few easy ways to save water:
- Reduce your shower by two minutes and save around 28 litres of water each day.
- Use a washing up bowl instead of leaving the tap running.
- Fix dripping taps and leaking toilets as soon as possible.
- Choose eco settings on your washing machine and dishwasher where available.
- Only use the water you need for everyday tasks.
These small actions soon add up and can make a positive difference for both the environment and your water use.
