Northern Ireland Water - Our Draft Strategy 2021-2046

As a society we need to place more value on water Value water 1. To support sustainable economic growth Eco-nomics 3. To be ready for more extreme weather conditions Be resilient 4. NI Water needs to invest in sustainable solutions 7. Putting back more than we take out To improve the water catchments, rivers and lakes which are sources of our drinking water 2. Restore our natural resources And what we put down the sink (no fats, oils and grease) and toilet (only pee, poo and paper) Keep it clear 6. As consumers we need to think about our water consumption (average person uses 150 litres per day. Only around 4 litres is used for drinking, with around 100 litres used in the bathroom and the toilet) Use less 5.
