Water Resources

Water is more than a natural resource

Water is certainly more than a natural resource, is one of the vital man, but also other creatures, along with food and air. It is well known to everyone that life on Earth would not be possible without water, and more, the lack of water would not be published. And although 70% of Earth's surface is covered by oceans and seas, however, we need new water for living is only 1.5% of that amount. Just so the water on Earth is good for consumption, and over 1.3 billion people - one fifth of the world population has no access to drinking water sources. Europe, for example, it is estimated that still has sufficient reserves of water, but prolonged drought affecting many countries in recent years. Problems related to water quantity is not limited to them, but also in quality. Water consumption of the population comes from either surface water - lakes and rivers from pollution or from ground water - rain water reached the ground. Although considered drinking tap water is avoided becoming more, just because people think of quality. Pollution reduction becomes all too important not only for animals that live in rivers, streams, large and oceans, but also for the conservation of drinking water. And this depends not only bodies authorized to act on the field, but also every citizen. In fact, many people are concerned about the phenomenon of water pollution, and consider it even more important than other environmental disasters or climate change. What can we do to ease the so serious the problem of depletion of water resources? Simple. We can take a shower instead of bath and so we consume 4 times less water. Closing the tap when brushing and the amount of apap saved in this way, the globe will be huge. We must not forget the taps flowing, and a new gasket cost us less than the resource: water. We wash clothes and dishes to the maximum capacity of the washing machine, and if they are not enough, we can adjust at half capacity. We collect rain water in special ponds for later use it .. All this means not only an ecological behavior, but significant savings for us
