Many of us spend around eight hours a day, 40 hours a week and 2,000 hours a year at work. That's a lot of our precious time and a lot of water potentially wasted if we leave our waterwise behaviour at home.
Workplaces use water for many purposes, from equipment cleaning, to garden watering, to toilet flushing. Both individual staff and the workplace can benefit from looking at new ways to be waterwise and this includes offices, schools, manufacturers, retail shops and restaurants.
