How much water do we use?

Take a look at the

"How I use water"

part of the Anglian Water website.
It gives some clues on
how we use water,
how much we use
and
some suggestions for not using so much.

 

 

Do a
Water Audit
to find out how much water you use at home.

For example

Taking a bath - 90 Litres

Taking a shower - 27 Litres

Flushing a toilet - 9 Litres

Washing face / hands - 9 Litres

Getting a drink - 1 Litre

Brushing teeth - 1 Litre

Washing Clothes - 118 Litres per load

Dishwasher - 35 Litres

Watering the garden with a sprinkler - 17 Litres per minute.

Hosepipe - 10 Litres per minute.

Other.

Make a chart a work out how many litres of water you use per day.

You could do this using a spreadsheet.

There's another leaflet here about saving water in school.

Could we come up with some ideas to put to the School Council?
