Use a washing-up bowl when washing up.

Fix leaking taps.

Rinse vegetables in a bowl.

Try to avoid rinsing dishes in the sink before loading them into your dishwasher.

Store drinking water in the refrigerator rather than letting the tap run every time you want a cool glass of water.

Wait until you have a full load before doing your washing, or use the half load button on your machine. The same goes for the dishwasher.

Hand wash small amounts of cloths in a bowl.

Fill the kettle with only as much water as you need – you will save electricity as well as water.

If you need to purchase a new water using appliance, check to see how water efficient it is before you buy it.
