How you can help to save water after a 20% usage increase in the UK

Saving water at home

In May 2020, water usage was at an all time high. The Covid-19 lockdown, paired with the driest May since records began led to an increase in water usage of over 40% in some areas of the country. There was a total surge of around 68.2 billion litres needed in the whole month, equating to over 850 million bathtubs!

Waterwise and Water UK have teamed up to encourage the idea of water saving practices in day to day life – which can be seen here.
