Potable water: Reducing its wastage in Britain: [`]You never know the worth of water until the well is dry' (Scottish proverb)
Britain's water-supply system suffers from profligate wastage. This report describes the water-resource management policies which have evolved to rectify this situation. In the consumer sector, one of the major water-wasting appliances is the self-flushing cistern, which serves urinals. For the gentlemen's lavatory investigated experimentally, it has been demonstrated that more than 87% of the water used could have been saved by relatively cheap methods, while still complying with the minimum flushing requirements, as set out in section 7 of B.S. 6465.
