The UK is no stranger to drought, which seem to be occurring with greater frequency – a result of global climate change? In 2022, the hot summer led to not only relatively widespread droughts but also major fires caused by the dry conditions nationwide. And it is thought this pattern will continue long into the future.
June 2023 sees areas of the UK (Devon, Cornwall, Kent and Sussex) once again being placed under hosepipe bans for the foreseeable future, with expectations that this will grow as the summer passes.
Whilst this is by no means as severe as the near-twenty year drought that recently ended in California, we can all play a part in conserving water; both to reduce consumption and also reduce our expenditure on this resource, which is only likely to increase in cost as droughts hit harder over time.
Homeowners in the UK can take these steps to reduce their water consumption and help to beat a drought and suffer less in times of water restrictions. Here are some methods and technologies that can be used:
By taking these steps, homeowners can help to beat a drought and conserve water for future generations.
Whilst many of the suggestions above are easily implemented through changing our daily habits, Infinity ProServ can assist in any of the technical solutions mentioned. Please call us, or complete the contact form below:
