Hertfordshire is one of the driest regions in the country and also one of the biggest users of water in the country.  Saving water is important but even more so at the moment as, since July 2016, our region has received just over half of the normal rainfall that we would usually expect.

Due to the low rainfall many rivers have seen flows decrease.

Ground water sources have also been affected by the low rainfall and are below average, this is where 60% of the water supplied to homes and businesses comes from. Affinity Water is encouraging its customers to save water to help preserve supplies and minimise the possibility of restrictions this summer.

Affinity Water are continually monitoring water resources offer advice and free water saving devices to help customers save water, energy and money or check out the GreenourHerts water pages.

In order to lessen these effects we have researched many subjects (e.g. transport, energy and outdoor recreation) related to everyday life. From this research we have compiled the most relevant and interesting information and presented it all under one roof. To make the browsing of our website even easier we have designed an interactive house summarising the main points.
