As showers account for the majority of household indoor water use, shower behaviour is a key area where more water efficient initiatives could be further developed and implemented to reduce overall water consumption in the home.

Although the shower is a place of significant discretionary water usage, there is little consumer insight into how much water is actually consumed.

The Alternative Technology Association (ATA) estimates that as much as 40 per cent of household mains-water could be saved by recycling "greywater".

In order to improve take up of greywater recycling, the ATA set out to develop a better understanding of current greywater usage.
