Water is our most precious resource, and you can save both water and money by installing a rainwater tank! Australia is the driest inhabited continent and predictions are that the future is likely to get hotter and drier. So it''s all the more frightening that, per person, we''re the biggest water consumers in the world.
But drinking water is scarce. Of all the water in the world, only 1% is fresh water available for use. So it''s hard to justify that we waste so much of this precious resource on things that don''t really require good drinking water. Garden irrigation and toilet flushing, for example, apparently guzzle up around half the water we consume.
Using rainwater for these things, or recycled greywater from our baths and laundries, would make much more sense.
