Saving water isn't only for times of drought; we cannot afford to waste this precious resource at any time.
To help you to save water, many water suppliers in the UK offer you water saving freebies - bag-type water savers which you can put in your toilet cistern, meaning that you use less water every time you flush. The Hippo Water Saver and the Bufaloo Cistern Bag are the most popular ones.
If you local water company does not offer one of these devices, it is possible to put a brick or large pebble in your cistern to acheive the same effect.
However you should always be careful that anything which you put in the cistern does not affect its working. Hippo Water savers can also be bought quite cheaply from Amazon and Low Energy Supermarket.
Many UK water companies will also give you, free water-saving gadgets for taps and showers as well such as tap aerators and water saving shower heads, which mean that you use less water when you have a shower or when you are running the tap but you won't notice the difference.
Many companies will also offer you shower timers to help you know how long you have been in the shower and can limit the time that you spend showering, saving water in the process.
