Falklands promotes the use of Water Wise

Using water, a finite resource efficiently has many benefits, not only to consumers but also to the wider Falkland Islands community and environment.

This would also save energy, both in homes as well as at the water treatment plant which is great for both saving money as well as for the environment.
