In many developed countries, it seems water is plentiful and cheap. But worldwide, sweet clean water is a very precious resource. Here are a number of ways in which you can both help save the planet and save some money. The average household (UK) uses 500 liters of water a day, according to the UK government agency, which has many good water-saving tips on its website.

The liter figures given below are based on 20 years of performing environmental audits.

Water-saving toilets, showers and other appliances

Whether or not it is possible to save on the water use of your toilet depends very much on its model.

Check your toilet's tank size. Modern toilets often offer a choice between either two sides of the same button or two separate buttons. One is for a small amount of water, often 1-2 liter, the other one for a larger amount, often 5 or 6 liter. Also some modern toilets allow you to flush just as long as you keep the button down, until the tank is fully empty. The old-fashioned way was putting a brick into the toilet tank, or a soda bottle filled with sand and water. This would reduce the volume of water used at every flush. If you have a toilet tank which you feel is too large and dispensing too much water you can try this old, easy and cheap method.
