Aware of water shortages, Europeans are nevertheless finding it difficult to adopt a more rational consumption pattern and make savings. So concludes a survey of 20,516 consumers in 12 countries carried out for German bathroom products manufacturer, Grohe.
One of the first findings of the survey concerns respondents’ estimates of their own daily water consumption. More than one in five (22%), for example, think they use less than 10 litres a day – whereas the actual average in Europe is more like 144 litres per person per day.
