How much water do you use?

The average person in England uses 136.5 litres of water daily, which is almost 40 litres more than someone in Denmark. Understanding your own water consumption is the first step to reducing it. Simple changes like shorter showers or fixing leaky taps can make a big difference over time, helping to conserve this vital resource.
