It's Hunter Water's third annual Love Water Day this Saturday, and part of the celebrations for National Water Week.
Hunter locals are being encouraged to get involved by sharing photos or short videos online of how you use smart water practices at home and at work.
We're being reminded we can save water at home by sticking to a four-minute shower, using a trigger nozzle on your hose, watering your garden before 10 am or after 4 pm and ensuring any leaks are fixed as soon as possible.
It's hoped little changes such as these will ensure generations to come are able to live free of fear from water scarcity.
Hunter Water will also continue to collaborate with schools to ensure the next generation has the knowledge to protect our most precious resource.
With summer quickly approaching, Hunter Water's Renee Fedder says the community needs a reminder about how important it is to conserve water, even during floods.
"It's really important that we're all making smart water choices in our everyday lives," she said.
"Water is fundamental to life and everything that we do, so while it may feel like it's all around us at the moment, it's really important that we do those small things in our homes that can really make big changes for our future."
