My Water Diary

‘My Water Diary’ is brought to you by the Free Radicals as part of Water Amnesty project.

• Track your water usage over a week and aim to reduce your consumption.

Water is precious. It is a finite resource that is likely to become scarcer in the future. It is something we cannot live without and we are using more of it than ever before. We use it for drinking, cooking and washing but even more water is used to produce things we use everyday like food, paper and even the clothes we wear.

Each day and every day we use about 150 litres of water, a consumption rate which is not sustainable in the long term.

Unless we take action now, climate change, population growth and increased water demand mean that the UK could face a big problem in the future.
