Outside the home

Garage and driveway
We tend to be very lavish water consumers when it comes to washing cars, boats and truck. Find out how to clean the car and save water!
Rainwater
Collecting rainwater locally can help us reduce our need to consume precious drinking water in our gardens, laundries and toilets.
Patio and pool areas
In the absence of beaches, rivers and lakes for leisure, we rely on swimming pools, spas and general water play to cool down during warmer months.
Greywater re-use
Re-using greywater for gardens and toilet flushing can reduce our consumption of drinking quality water - but care should be taken to prevent adverse health impacts.
