Photo by Irish households are being asked to conserve water, as the spell of warm weather continues.
Uisce Eireann is appealing to the public to take practical steps as part of its "Think Water Conservation" campaign.
Over half of homes admit to wasting water, with usage in Dublin alone reaching up to 20 million litres a day in warm weather.
Head of Water Operations Margaret Attridge says making small changes can have a big impact:
"This campaign really is about trying to raise awareness with people throughout Ireland, that people can make simple changes in their family homes, and it's raise awareness of those simple changes people can make."
"Reducing a shower by sixty seconds, you can save over 120 liters of water a week, so if you're showering every day, that's a lot of water that can be saved per week."
