Water Talk - Southampton

nospam@example.com (Sarah) — Mon, 11 Jun 2012 14:36:30 +0100

We often just think in terms of the water we use in our homes when we think about about water saving.....but there's a whole heap of other ways that we can do our bit to conserve our precious water resources.

Our next Transition Talk will be by Clare Diaper who will take you through the water cycle and highlight practical actions to reduce water usage and also reduce our impact on water quality. With changes in climate making drought and flood conditions more likely, these pratical, integrated solutions are one alternative to our current centralised water and wastewater infrastructure.

Join us on Tuesday 12th June, 7.30pm at The Art House.

Water water everywhere...

I won't try and tell you all about them, just take a look directly -

With hose pipe bans across the SE of the Country coming in the place last week, there is a lot we can learn about our water use...

Be water wise

The key to water efficiency is reducing waste, not restricting use. Here are a few pages online from Waterwise.org.uk that give us tips on how to reduce our water waste at home and at work. It also has some childrens activities... find out more...

Saving Water

Water is a precious resource and one that is not often considered until problems occur. The current drought situation has brought the issue to the forefront of many people's minds and we are now being encouraged to renew our efforts to save water.

A few years ago I fitted a simple, yet highly effective device to the syphon wc's (those with handles or chains, not push buttons) in my house and saw a consequent 30% drop in water consumption. The Interflush can save around half of the 60 litres (on average) that we each flush away every day - way more effective than a hippo bag or a brick!! It pays for itself (if you're on a meter) in a matter of weeks.

I've long been a fan of this little invention and wanted to draw it to everyone's attention again now that water shortage is a serious concern. You can read all the details on the official web site and buy the kits there. If anyone's interested I have a few boxed Interflushes and can arrange fitting if required (I tried to set up a small business selling and fitting them a while ago but it didn't fly sadly). If you want more info etc email me or ring me on 023 8029 2531
