Best Answer
  • Showers that go on too long.
  • Baths that are too big and filled with too much water.
  • Swimming Pools that leak or evaporate a lot of water.
  • Leaking pipes and dripping faucets.
  • Using washing machines and dishwashers for just a few things.
  • Leaving the water running when you are brushing your teeth.
  • Using a big old cistern for your toilet instead of a dual flush. (You can put a plastic bottle full of water into your cistern to use less water.)
  • Watering your garden in the heat of the day when the spray evaporates.
  • Not capturing your roof water into tanks but letting it run away into drains.
  • Not using a little bowl in the sink for small washings up.
  • Using a hose to clean your driveway instead of a broom.
  • Washing your car with a hose instead of a bucket.
