Fresh water is a limited resource. As the world population continues to increase, more pressure is being placed on this precious resource. 97% of the water in the world is sea water and therefore not suitable for drinking. Approximately 2% of the water is held in ice. This leaves only 1% of the world’s water available for human consumption.

It is vital to conserve and protect the water we have, especially if we want our future generations to have clean, safe drinking water. The cost of providing clean water can be high and the process can be difficult to manage. With water charges, there are many ways that we can save money and reduce our water consumption by making small changes to our daily activities in the home and in the garden.
