There many simple measures to reduce water consumption:

These can be a mixed blessing IME. Some you need several flushes get
the job(ie) finished!


They can also leave solid waste in sections of drainage pipes,
causing problems.

The real point is, this country is not short of water, it does have a
grossly inefficient distribution system were water can't easily be
moved around the country and were distribution pipes sometimes
resemble colanders...

Not to mention the old Victorian sewers that are still in use and need
widening/replacing as they are incapable of dispersing rainwater in heavy
floods.
