Water Efficiency

Water efficiency is the practice of using water resources wisely and minimising waste, by implementing strategies and technologies to reduce water consumption and improve water use efficiency so that only the amount that is required for a specific purpose is used. It is essential for sustainable water management, particularly in areas facing water scarcity or drought, and, if done effectively, will ensure adequate water supplies now and for future generations.
