Hello @Coconutz, this El Niño is going to have an impact on a global scale. Even in Europe, we had more than a month of no rain so it was somewhat a ‘dry’ winter (kind of strange to say it but it’s true) and summer’s going to be super hot! Agricultural sectors have been into a lot of discussion and/or debate on how to at least pass this through making sure food supply is still under control. So yes, we can do our part at a household level!
I have a few tips to conserve water in this difficult garden period:
Garden
- When watering, do it late afternoon so plants can suck it up well before evaporation.
- Consider planting those do not require a lot of water.
Household
- Launch washing machine and dishwasher only when full.
- Shower instead of taking a bath.
- Public pool over a private one at home.
And yes, as mon said, collect rainwater when you can. It’s the best way to have water without depleting our tap water reserve!
May God bless us all.
