We need a mandatory water efficiency label for the UK.

A mandatory water label could save over 1,500 million liters of water daily by 2050.
Water efficiency labeling could reduce per capita water use by up to 18 liters per day.
Reducing water use through efficient products could save £125 million annually on energy bills.

This simple yet effective policy could save over 1,500 million liters per day by 2050 and help drive sustainable water use across the country.
