      <h3 >Water in the morning or evening</h3>
      <p>Water in the early morning or later in the evening when the sun is going down reduces evaporation so that more water gets into the soil. </p>

      <h3 >Consider adding clover</h3>
      <p>When it’s dry, lawns can turn brown due to the lack of rainfall. While well-established lawns recover when the rain returns, there are other ways to keep your lawn green. A good low maintenance option is clover. Not only does clover need less water than traditional grass lawns, it’s also pollinator friendly.</p>

      <h3 >Use a watering can instead</h3>
      <p>Hoses and sprinklers typically use about 1000 litres of water an hour. This is more than 12 baths. Watering cans use significantly less water.</p>

      <h3 >Wash your car with a sponge and bucket</h3>
      <p>Be proud of your dirty car – you’re doing your bit to save water. If you do need to wash it, try using a bucket a sponge instead of a hose, or even just give the windscreen a quick clean. </p>

      <h3 >Just a small top up</h3>
      <p>If you use a pool to keep cool in the summer – adding a cover overnight will keep the water cleaner for longer. When you need to, top it up rather than emptying it out, and then re-use the water on your garden plants. </p>
