Waterwise are hosting Water Saving Week for the second year running. As before, there’ll be an exciting range of activities to raise awareness about why we need to save water, including daily challenges, ideas and tips to help you do it. The UK has less available water per person than most other European countries. London is drier than Istanbul, and the South East of England has less water available per person than the Sudan and Syria. Surprised? We’re delighted to partner up for this year’s campaign with WaterSafe – the water-sector backed online search facility where you can find trusted and qualified plumbers in your area. Plumbers approved through WaterSafe are trained to meet the strict regulations for installing pipes and fittings which supply drinking water, and can also help homes and businesses become more water efficient.

Why save water?

Increasingly erratic weather patterns, population increases and changes in lifestyle have led to increasing pressure being put on our water supplies. As a result, it is more important than ever that we take care with how we use water. Taking positive action now can help to ensure that there is enough water to go round, for us, for businesses and for the environment.

Water Saving Week Themes

Each day of Water Saving Week focuses on a specific area of water use or benefit of water efficiency. Water Saving Week Packs will be available for each day and will include challenges, ideas and tips to help you save water in relation to that day’s theme.

Monday: Water in your School

Tuesday: Water in your Workplace

Wednesday: Water in your Home

Thursday: Water in your Community
