Surviving dry spells with small habits


Every drop counts: Using water-efficient appliances and fixtures could go a long way to coping with more intense droughts.

PETALING JAYA: The National Water Services Commission (SPAN) estimates that the average Malaysian goes through about 225 litres of treated water a day – roughly the same as 150 large 1.5‑litre bottles.

This rate is higher than most of Malaysia’s neighbours – including Thailand (200 litres per day), Indonesia (160), and Singapore (143) – and above the World Health Organisation’s recommended 160 litres per day.
