Track where your water goes each day.
A typical household's water breakdown: Showers/baths (25%, ~80 L/day at 9 L/min for 8 min), Toilet flushing (30%, ~54 L/day at 9 L/flush × 6 flushes), Laundry (20%, ~40 L/day), Dishes (10%, ~15 L/day), Garden (variable, 10-100+ L/day). Simple fixes for the top users: (1) Low-flow showerhead: reduces flow from 9 L/min to 6 L/min, saving 24 L per 8-min shower; (2) Dual-flush toilet: uses 3 L for liquid waste vs 9 L, saving 30+ L/day; (3) Front-load washer: uses 50 L vs 150 L for top-loaders. Collectively, these three changes can reduce household consumption by 30-40%. Water-conscious households achieve 80-100 L/person/day vs 200-300 L/person/day for typical households. Greywater recycling (reusing shower/laundry water for gardens) can reduce freshwater demand by another 30%.
