- Water conservation
- 1. This involves reducing the amount of water used (demand) rather than trying to increase water supplies.
- 2. In the UK around 22% of water does not reach the end user due to leakage
- Examples include
- Reducing domestic consumption
- Installing water meters in every home
- Reducing the amount of water used in lavatory cisterns
- Planting drought resistant species in 'water-wise' gardens
- Using grey water to flush the lavatory or water the garden
- Reducing industry consumption
- Installing more efficient systems to reduce water costs
- Agricultural irrigation= use of micro-irrigation techniques using drip irrigation from tubes reduces the volume of water used
- Reducing domestic consumption
