Brits are using more than twice as much water than they realise when showering, flushing the toilet, and running the tap, according to research.
A study of 3,000 adults found the average person estimates they use 57 litres a day, when in reality, it’s 144 litres – equivalent to more than four large wheelie bins worth of water a week.
People shower for an average of around eight minutes a day, which uses up to a staggering 96 litres of water.
