‘Water, Water, Everywhere? Sustainable Water Use
By John Hobson and Andrew Derry

Published April 2009

The report makes recommendations for the industry and government, to provide efficiency and affordability solutions for consumers and mitigation of the effects of climate change. Recognising the intrinsic link between water and energy consumption, the report advocates action by government, water companies, property developers, housing providers and consumers.

In particular, the report proposes that the Government should expand its energy saving schemes to include water efficiency to ensure that water bills remain affordable for low income and vulnerable households as water meters are introduced. Water efficiency measures would also provide significant environmental benefits, reducing water and energy use and thus carbon emissions.
