Default Drier conditions & water restrictions - what to do?

Assuming the bathroom is upstairs you can do this quite easily by
siphoning it. If a hose is full of water with one end in the bath,
then providing the outlet at the other end is lower, all the water
in the bath will flow through the hose, even uphill, and out through
the bathroom window. Except for the final amount when you'll need
to hold up the end of the hose to allow the water to flow down
and through the window.



So what's to stop me "taking a bath with no soap" - to the brim - then
syphoning it out onto the garden? Once a day during a hosepipe ban.


IANAL and IMBW but
isn't a hosepipe ban actually a ban on the use of hosepipes!
stay with me here...
not a restriction on the use of water.

So you can water the garden, you can wash the car etc etc
but not with a hosepipe.

So how are you going to syphon the water without using a hosepipe?
