It covers everything individuals, homes and businesses need to consider:

  • The impact of wastewater on the environment
  • Global water waste statistics, with countries, ranked and country-specific case studies
  • The most common water-wasting habits in the world
  • The entire water process, including production, collection, treatment, and reuse
  • How individuals and families can reduce water waste

Here are just some of the insights our research uncovered:

  • A single member of a household could use up to 149 litres of water every day.
  • There are huge disparities in water use across countries. Individuals in the USA use the most water at 373 litres, while people in Mexico use just 5.4 litres per person per day.
  • The water company areas with the highest water stress scores are Essex and Suffolk Water, and Folkestone and Dover Water, at 41.
  • 29% of Brits don’t reuse water when cooking or preparing food.

Project Narrative

There are many aspects of daily living that have the power to impact the environment negatively. When taking into account every household, business, and service, these factors then have the power to increase environmental damage on a momentous, global scale. Water waste is just one example of a damaging environmental factor, but it's an extremely significant one. It's very important for individuals, households, and businesses alike to understand the impact of water waste on the environment so that the world at large can work to a more sustainable future.
