In 2019 we worked in partnership with the Environment Agency and others to create a number of resources. Please make use of these in your work.
Purpose of the Toolkit
Saving Water in the Garden
A series of partnership research projects undertaken with the Environment Agency and others.
Research into Public Perceptions of Rainwater Harvesting and Greywater
Carried out in collaboration with the Greater London Authority, as well as the EA Environment Agency, this report uses data from two micro surveys with 200 people and will be used to bust some of the myths surrounding rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling.
Retail Switching Guide
This guide helps businesses looking to switch water retailer to ask the right questions of their current or prospective retailer in regards to water efficiency.
Golf Irrigation Guide
Created in collaboration with the golf and water sector, this guide is a useful introduction to water efficiency for golf course managers.
Water Efficiency Office Guide and Posters
A simple guide for any office trying to become more water-efficient. This guidance comes with posters at the end of the document which are available for any business to download and use. It complements the Waterwise Checkmark award. This award recognises organisation’s that demonstrate commitment to excellence and continued improvement in water efficiency within their building/s. See here for more details.
Beyond PCC Per Capita Consumption – Water Day Research
40 participants, 2 weeks of data. The results showed that daily personal water use is 22% more than official PCC (per capita consumption) figures, because people use water in places other than their homes.
Generation Z Research
What does the “Greta generation” know about water efficiency? 100 “generation Z” participants (born between 1996 and 2006) answered 10 questions for our research. This report discusses the results.
Building Regulations ‘Current Status’ Policy Review
Waterwise was involved in external discussions about building regulations throughout the year, and wrote a ‘current status’ policy review for the EA highlighting the gaps in policy and data around non household new developments and water efficiency. This is not a public document.
Rainwater Harvesting and Greywater Recycling Tender
Waterwise secured funding, established a steering group, wrote the scoping documents and created the tender for this work, which will update knowledge on the costs and benefits of different technologies, contexts and policy options. Find out more here.
Work with us
Waterwise works with individuals, communities and organisations across the UK to make sure water is never wasted. We are proud to partner with a number of organisations who share our vision and are committed to improving water efficiency within their own operations, as well as helping us to raise awareness of water scarcity.
