As a resident in South Africa one always hopes for a good bout of showers during the regional rain seasons. However, often our dams and reservoirs do not fill up for the dryer months and water restrictions are put in place to save water. But as we move into an era of climate uncertainty, it is vital that we practice water saving tips and techniques no matter what the level of our dams are for the year. As consumers it is also important that we create a demand for water saving products from service providers and retailers in South Africa, so that saving water in South Africa becomes not an exception but a norm.
