At Home

The pie chart below shows the percentage of water used in each water-using area of your home.
| Area | Percentage | Area | Percentage |
| Toilet | 30% | Washing up | 8% |
| Baths and Taps | 21% | Outdoor | 7% |
| Showers | 12% | Other | 5% |
| Clothes washing | 13% | Drinking | 4% |

The figures are taken from:
- Water companies
- WRC (formally the Water Research Centre)
- UK Water Industry Research (UKWIR)
NB: The split within personal washing between baths & taps and showers is still being refined. Outdoor water use may vary from region to region.
