Did you know there is the same amount of water on Earth as there was when the Earth was formed. Nearly 97% of the world’s water is salty or otherwise undrinkable. Another 2% is locked in ice caps and glaciers. (Source: EPA)
That leaves just 1% for all of humanity’s needs including agricultural, residential, manufacturing, community, and personal needs. There is not an endless supply or more fresh water on the way. This is all we have.
In a world where water is becoming more precious every year, making small changes at home can add up to a big difference - for your household, your bills, and the planet.
1. Shorten Your Showers
Every minute you shave off can save up to 12 litres. Aim for 4 minutes.
2. Capture Your Shower Warm-Up Water
Most people lose 5 to 10 litres waiting for hot water. SEVAS captures it for reuse and each SEVAS water catcher can hold up to 5L of water. Every shower pressure is different but on average, the water catcher catches about 3L of water in 30 seconds.
3. Turn Off the Tap While Brushing or Shaving
Running taps waste 6 litres per minute
4. Fix Leaks (Even Small Ones)
Dripping taps = hundreds of litres lost every year
5. Only Run Full Loads in Machines
Full dishwasher or laundry loads save water and energy
6. Use a Broom Instead of a Hose
Clean driveways or patios without running water
7. Choose Water-Smart Devices
Install a circulating pump, a water flow controller on shower heads or for a more affordable option, a SEVAS or bucket under the shower.
