While some of the savings were due to the mild and wet summer, improvements to irrigation scheduling have been made that should contribute to longer term water savings. Of course ongoing vigilance by all staff to reduce water waste has the greatest influence on our water bills.

The results of this work will be seen during 2011 – 12 and will aim to address and clarify several misconceptions. Fundamentally, the aim is to raise awareness of the charity behind the zoos, communicate the massive amount of conservation work carried out by the charity and seek greater donations and sponsorship.
