Why Save Water?
Globally
Our water supply is finite. We do not have an endless amount.
​
Only 3% of Earth's water is fresh and of that only 0.5% is available for drinking, the remaining 2.5% is locked in glaciers, ice caps, and the atmosphere or too polluted for consumption.
We all need water to survive and this most precious of resource is becoming limited as populations grow and industries boom.
​
Any less than an adequate supply of freshwater leads to rising costs and political conflicts.
Water conservation ultimately promotes the survival of humans, the animal kingdom and natural world.
Nationally
Locally
As a nation we must conserve our water.
​
Not only is water imperative for human survival, we rely upon it heavily for our food production, industry and recreational pursuits, even beautifying our surroundings.
Our nation needs to protect the water we have today for the generations to come.
​
The infrastructures in place to provide drinking water to our nation are costly and demand high amounts of energy. By saving our nation's water, we are saving our nation's energy too.
Water impacts massively at a local level; flood or drought devastate our immediate surroundings.
Conserving our local resources is paramount to the environment we live in.
​
Our habitats are shaped and effected by the methods and processes in place to deliver our fresh water drinking supplies. Reservoirs, pipelines and water treatment sites all share our local landscapes and take a lot more than just water from us.
​
Consider the impact on local wildlife as a reservoir depletes over summer; draining all that water takes it toll on the birds and animals that live and rely upon those water resources too.
Our aquatic life would stand no chance of survival without our natural water supplies.
​
We have built and now need to maintain our valued communities by continuing to supply fresh water to our homes, schools, firefighters, hospitals and leisure clubs.
Why should you save water?
Every little drop helps, changing your mindset to make water conservation a way of life will be the positive change needed that ripples out; locally, nationally and even globally.
​
We should use our water supply responsibly and wisely for all the countless activities in which we rely upon water, not to mention for the essentials of drinking, bathing, washing and cooking, this will reduce water bills, saving you money.
​
Aside from financial savings, your energy costs may decrease and any reductions you can make will reduce the overall energy used to provide your water services, further lowering your footprint on resources and energy too.
​
Efficient water usage makes our own water supply more resilient against extreme weather events, such as droughts.
