Water Calculator: What’s your water footprint?

At 20-30% of household use, the bathroom is an area you can use a lot of water and easily save a lot too.

You will notice a front loading washing machine makes the biggest difference here.

Dishwashers don’t use as much water as you might think, but leaving the tap running uses up to 12L/minute.

The kitchen section includes your tap usage throughout the house.

This accounts for one quarter of all household water use so it is worth looking at your behaviour and irrigation carefully.
