UK water conservation drive faces backlash for targeting South Asian rice-washing habits
A water-saving initiative in the UK has advised households, particularly those in South Asian communities, to reduce the number of times they rinse rice during the country's ongoing drought. The campaign suggests that washing rice twice rather than the usual five to seven times could conserve as much as five litres of water per meal. Additionally, a separate effort encouraged Muslims to limit water usage during wudu by using a one-litre jug. These recommendations have sparked criticism for singling out specific cultural and religious traditions.
