On average, a shower uses less water than a bath. Bath takers use an average of 95-130 litres of water, while a 10-minute shower with a regular showerhead will fill the tub with 95 litres. However, a study proved that shower takers spend longer in the shower than they report, and therefore, use more water than they think.
Your morning shower is a great starting point to being more sustainable as it can use anything between six to 45 litres of water per minute. Try to cut back to less than four minutes per shower.
If you have two basins, fill one with soapy water and the other with rinsing water. If you have one sink, put your washed dishes on a dish rack and rinse them using a spray device or a pan full of hot water.
Use less hot water by running your dishwasher only when it's full and by choosing shorter, economy wash cycles. If you are worried shorter cycles might not get your dishes clean enough, you can rinse them in cold water before putting them into the machine.
This will reduce the amount of water used per flush. For an easy DIY solution, put pebbles or sand inside two plastic bottles to weigh them down, fill the bottles with water, screw on the lids, and place them safely in your toilet tank, away from the operating mechanisms.
