Global warming Annual average temperature +0.7°C in the last 50 years (higher than the global change in the last 100 years)    Droughts    Depletion of water resources
Population growth Drinking water supply Waste water treatment and overall sanitary conditions (illnesses)

Tips for Saving a Water   Just taking a five minute shower very day, instead of a bath, will use a third of the water, saving up to 400 litres a week. Replacing a toilet cistern can save water. Toilets manufactured after 1993 use less water per flush. Brushing your teeth with the tap running wastes almost 9 litres a minute. Rinse out from a tumbler instead.
Tips for Saving a Water A d ripping tap could waste as much as 90 litres a week. Lag your pipes to avoid bursts and leave your heating on a low setting while you are out in cold weather to prevent pipes freezing. Trigger nozzles can save water by using it only when needed. This can save up to 225 litres a week.
Tips for Saving a Water Very 'water efficient' washing machines and dishwashers are now manufactured. Machines with 'A' ratings are the most economical. Don't use your washing machine until you've got a full load. The average wash needs about  95 litres. A full load uses less water than 2 half loads. Installing a water meter can save you water and money by monitoring how much you use. Or even newspaper keeps the sun off the soil and retains precious moisture
Water saving advance for gardeners Purchasing a water butt will help you to collect rain water for use on the garden. Question your local garden centre about the water requirements of different plants. Some thrive in drier conditions. Mulch for moisture in the garden. Adding a layer of tree bark, compost, coconut husks as much water in an hour as a family of four will use in a day!
Water saving advance for gardeners Use the dirty water when cleaning a fish tank on your houseplants. It's rich in nitrogen and phosphorus, which provides an excellent fertiliser. Every time you boil an egg save the cooled water for your houseplants. They'll benefit from the nutrients released from the shell. Grow your grass a little longer. It will stay greener than a close mown lawn and need less watering.
Water saving advance for gardeners Hoeing stimulates the growth of plants, reduces water loss from the soil surface and removes weeds that take up valuable water and nutrients. No further watering is usually required for established trees and shrubs.  Sprinklers can be wasteful. It doesn't take long for a sprinkler to soak your lawn thoroughly.
Thank you for your attention
