      • Washing, drinking, flushing the toilet, cleaning, cooking.
        • 50% of the UK's water use is domestic.
          • This will raise by 5% by 2020 due to growing population.

    • Water Transfer
      • Water is transferred from places with a water surplus to places with a water deficit.
      • It doesn't happen as much because it is too expensive.
