Woke environmental scientists want Brits to install shower meters to help close England's vast water gap. Now, a group of researchers say that everyone should be doing their bit to cut the deficit by installing water meters in their showers. In one study, installing shower timers reduced the amount of time people spent under the water by 26 per cent. Likewise, research conducted in university student halls of residence found that installing shower timers saved 25 litres of water per shower on average. However, despite acknowledging the 'looming existential crisis' of water shortages, the researchers aren't convinced that shower timers should be mandatory.
