Conserving Water

The Water Supply Regulations in England and Wales put in place some very simple and practical solutions for conserving water. These are reduction measures and include limiting all newly installed WC's to a 6 litre maximum.
A simple audit identifying where and how water
is used will give ideas for conserving water. These could include auto shut-off devises on hoses & taps, mending leaks, reducing quantities, preventing over-flows.

Managing flow

Both drought and flooding are becoming common occurrences. Managing flow helps to alleviate these by ensuring supply to drought areas and preventing flooding. Consider your surroundings, potential flash floods can be reduced by trees and underplanting. Water storage systems and leak control in the supply infrastructure can help reduce the affects of drought.
