The National Drought Group met today (Monday 11 August) with the current water shortfall situation in England now defined as a “nationally significant incident.” They defined some measures:
HOW TO SAVE WATER AT HOME
- Install a rain butt to collect rainwater to use in the garden.
- Fix a leaking toilet – leaky loos can waste 200-400 litres a day.
- Use water from the kitchen to water your plants.
- Avoid watering your lawn – brown grass will grow back healthy.
- Turn off the taps when brushing teeth or shaving.
- Take shorter showers.
- Delete old emails and pictures as data centres require vast amounts of water to cool their systems.

At the same time AI centers are built in USA and China, retrieving a maximum of personal data and needing a huge amount of water. But delete your old emails will help?
What about common sense?
