Agua Ingles

Water is an essential element for survival. However, society in our country does not have the necessary awareness to rationalize their use. While the planet is about 70% water, most of it is salty seas and oceans and unfit for consumption. Currently the process of desalination is very expensive and not feasible. Of this amount only 2.5% is fresh water, and if this will discount the glaciers and poles, we have only 0.5% available.

Increased consumption comes from industrial agriculture and therefore have developed environmental policies and controls increasingly stringent in all its processes, establishing standards and awards that determine the corporate image of companies.

Per capita consumption varies by country. While in Europe, consumption is between 140 and 170 liters / capita. In Argentina arrives in some cases to 500 L / inhab.

While a tap with a cuerito broken, wasted about 50 liters per day, a toilet with continuous loss reaches 4500 liters per day. A washing machine uses 100 liters in a complete cycle, while a bath uses 200 and a quick shower 80. A discharge of 20 liters toilet. Wash a car 500 litrosconsejos simple to apply at home.

1 .- Repair defective installations that cause loss or leakage. Often cuerito be done by changing a low cost.

2 .- Close the taps well. A faucet with a small opening loses 2000 liters / day.

3 .- Do not leave the tap open unnecessarily for example. Open at the time of entering the shower. Keep it closed while we brush our teeth. Do not leave the water running while performing other activities. This often occurs in the kitchen or laundry.

4 .- Use the washing machine with full load of laundry. If you wash a garment alone, we can do it in a bucket or by selecting the "low load" that have some artifacts thus reducing water consumption.

5 .- Do not leave hose in the garden or while doing other tasks such as soaping the car.

6 .- Maintain clean and the chemicals needed water pools during the year, to avoid filling it several times a year.

7 .- automatic irrigation systems, rain sensors placed interrupting the drive, when there is precipitation.

With little effort of each individual and family, together we can take the problems of scarcity and allow time for science and technology to see if they can find a future solution to this issue ..
