Czech tap water consumption drops by third in two decades
The Water Supply and Sewerage Association of the Czech Republic says that daily water consumption in the Czech Republic has decreased in the past two decades from 150 litres per capita to 100 litres. The association says that households have started using appliances with lower consumption and fewer people drink tap water. Also a sharp increase in formerly subsidised water prices in the 1990s contributed to the trend. Czech per capita water consumption is still about one third of that of some of the countries in the region.
