Before using water, allow yourself the time to think about how often and how much you use. Our day-to-day routine revolves around drinking, washing, cleaning and cooking with water. These rituals remain but the way in which we use water, in each of these routines, can be altered to make a difference to our consumption and our longer term awareness of usage.

So next time you fill the bucket to mop the floor, turn on the shower and then run for the phone, or leave the hose running while you wash the car, think carefully about what you are doing. You can help save our water, not waste it.

It will all create a ripple.

• Having a bath can use twice as much water as a shower.
• Leave the tap running and you will waste 4 gallons of water a minute.
• Retro showerheads use about 5 gallons of water per minute./li>
