Mains water usage in our homes and gardens is often highest when water availability is lowest ā in hot, dry periods. However, by adopting a few simple pledges, we can all make our gardens and outdoor spaces thrive on the rainfall we receive by collecting it and re-using it during dry spells. So letās change "from mains to rains"
Slow the flow
Helping to reduce risk of flooding
Healthy soils
Store more water and nutrients
Roots matter
Deeper roots can access more water
Collect the rain
For use when thereās none
