Did you know . . .

• We use 127% more water today than we did in 1950
• About 95% of water delivered to our houses goes down the drain
• A garden hose can use almost as much water in an hour as an average family of four uses in one day

Our population is growing, our climate changing and our lifestyles demand more and more water – we are consuming too much! But there are many things we can do to reduce our consumption of water, save money and help the environment.

This book gives you 100 water saving tips for the home and garden – from simple things like having a shower instead of a bath, to more drastic measures like installing a rainwater harvesting system. If each one of us does just one of them, we can help reduce the likelihood of water shortages both now and in the future.
