When it comes to water use, each person in Australia 220 litres per person per day.

Of course, Australia is one of  the driest places in the world.

Because Australia is mostly a desert we need to use our water wisely.

Here are a few tips that you can use to save water.

By turning off the water while we brush our teeth or shave we can save up to 10 gallons a day.

Stop using the toilet as a waste basket.

Everytime you flush a spider, facial tissue or some other small bit of trash down the toilet, you waste 3-7 gallons of water.

Wash only full loads of laundry.

Most washers use between 30 and 45 gallons per load.
