Saving water in the kitchen

Rinse or peel vegetables in a bowl or sink filled with water instead of running the tap - saves 10 litres per minute.

Wait until you have a full load before starting your dishwasher and when possible, use the eco-setting - saves 125 litres for each wash not required.

Run waste disposal unit only when full or at the end of cooking or cleaning up - saves 10 litres per minute.

Rinse dishes in a sink filled with water, rather than under a running tap - saves 20 litres per wash. 

Keep a jug of drinking water in the refrigerator instead of running the tap water until cold - up to 2 litres per glass.

Cooking - when boiling vegetables, use just enough water to cover them and use a tightly fitting pot lid or use a microwave.
