There are many ways we can save water in and around the house and garden. Simple things like taking shorter showers, using waterwise appliances and checking to ensure our reticulation systems are working properly can save lots of water and don’t take a lot of effort.

As climate change continues to affect the amount of rainfall we receive, we can no longer rely on rainfall to charge our dams and ground water storage, which is why the Water Corporation is developing water sources that will not rely on rainfall in the future, like desalination. Similarly, it’s why we should ensure that as a community, we too are doing our best to conserve our most precious resource.

This booklet is an easy to read all-in-one guide for the whole family to use. It tells you how much different water activities use and provides simple yet effective ideas to make our habits, our homes and our gardens just that little bit more water friendly without affecting our lifestyle.
