Save water in the shower
We need your help to show the planet some love! While it seems to rain endlessly in Britain, less than 1% of the world’s water can actually be consumed – the rest of it is either salty seawater or contained in ice caps – so it's important we look after what we've got.
For every minute in the shower, we use 10 litres of water, so shorter showers can make a big difference - using less energy, reducing carbon emissions and the impact on our beautiful reservoirs. Not to mention it’ll help us to make sure there is enough water for everyone to enjoy for generations to come.

Do you take super long showers?
Showers make up about 20% of our water usage, so there’s a lot we can do to preserve the planet's tiny 1% of consumable water.
In fact, the average Brit uses almost as much water in their daily shower than a French person uses in a whole day.
What we can all do to help!
- Take shorter showers – play one or two of your favourite songs and you can’t go wrong
- Get a water saving showerhead – this can save three litres of water per minute
- Try a free shower-flow regulator that screws into the bottom of your shower hose
- Share a shower – if there’s two of you in there, you’ll halve your water usage
- Try not to run your shower before you get in – that cold burst will wake you up!
- Fix dripping showers – reduce needless water waste and that annoying dripping sound. It's a good idea to find a local plumber who can fix your drips.
