Green Match recently dove into the massive issue of water waste, and let’s just say the numbers are shocking: globally, around 30% of treated water is lost, and a staggering 80% of wastewater isn’t treated at all. But the impact isn’t just environmental—it’s hitting our wallets and wasting energy too, costing billions every year.

​

But don’t worry, it’s not all doom and gloom! The article also sheds light on some game-changing solutions, like smarter irrigation, recycling wastewater, and encouraging conservation efforts. These are key to cutting down water waste and protecting our ecosystems.

​

Here’s the quick rundown:

​

• Water waste is a massive global problem—with 30% of treated water lost, 80% of wastewater untreated, and agriculture guzzling up 70% of the world’s freshwater.

• The impact: Water waste doesn’t just hurt the planet; it’s draining energy and a jaw-dropping £207 billion every year.

• Pollution alert: Untreated water wreaks havoc on ecosystems, and inefficient systems crank up greenhouse gas emissions.

• The solution: Smarter irrigation, wastewater recycling, conservation efforts, and just changing our everyday habits can help turn this around.
