I agree. Apparently the UK average daily water usage is ~140l, so "fix leaks" dwarfs all the others.

If you're irrigating your garden, that's also going to be a big one, but quite often you get a hosepipe ban in the dry season anyway.

Someone with a water meter should try these measures and see if they notice a difference; I bet they don't. The data center one is of course unmeasureable by the individual.

Gardens? Gardens that often cool their environments?

Tennis courts: during one of the last droughts the local tennis club kept watering their courts -- sand. The upper class twits give a F* about preserving water. Why should anybody let their plants die for those f*ers who waste it big times?

Well, yes. Also golf courses. You've hit the nail on the head that conservation hairshirt measures need some solidarity, or visibly even handed enforcement, otherwise they're just insulting.
