How much water is used in your home? Try to keep a waterdiary for a whole week. Ask your family to…

…follow the flush…

…watch the washing…

…tally the tea…

…just keep track of everything!

Why do you think we should be careful about how much water we use?

In the last few years, there has been less rainfall in many areasof the world, including the UK. Less rain means there is lesswater for everyone.

There are also more people now than there were a few years ago!In 2001, there were 58.7 million people in the UK. In 2005, there were 60 million people and in 2010, there were over 62 million!

We all need to make sure we save water so that there isenough for everyone to use.

Oi! Move over!

No! Youmove over!
