      No. I don’t think people are educated about water wastage. Did you know that around 30% of people in the UK population always or sometimes leave the tap running while brushing their teeth? That’s 24 litres of water a day wasted per person (the same as 12 big bottles of coke)! I think people waste water because they are so used to having it to easily, just by turning on the tap. They don’t realise all the time and science and engineering and hard work that goes into treating every little drop of that water.
