¿Water is a global problem?

If it is a global problem, because humans have not yet understood that we must conserve water and not pollute the seas, oceans and rivers, as it is non-renewable resource and is critical for life our planet.

What can we do?

Water is a resource that all living beings on the planet need to survive, many times we are fortunate to have enough water in the place we live and we realize not save it but you must take steps to use it properly as we know is a nonrenewable resource that is scarce in some parts of the world for the bad use we make and climate change.

Here I present a series of tips to make good use of the water we use daily.

1 .- Check pipes and faucets in your home to identify leaks that could have and fix it because sometimes you lose water without realizing it.

2.-You may already have heard this advice several times but it is time to put into practice, put one or two bottles filled with water inside the toilet tank with this save 2 to 3 liters of water per flush.

3.-Say goodbye to bathtub and shower use with this save more than about 150 gallons each time.

4.-When do you brush your teeth like when you were Niñ @, use a glass to prevent water run while you brush.

5.-Water your garden in the evening or early hours of the day so that your plants get even more water does not evaporate.

6.-Use biodegradable detergents and do not pour chemicals down the drain to prevent chemical contamination of rivers, lakes and seas.

7.-Water Reuse as many times as you can, many times the water used in an activity we can use others such as the water you use to wash your hands you can use it to wash the patio or the dishwasher and water washing with a special installation you can use it for the toilet.

8.-When washing the car and patios are not using the best hose that uses a bucket to avoid the loss of up to 500 liters of water at a time.

9.-With a simple installation on the roof of your house you can capture and store rainwater in a special tank to make good use later.

10.-When you get water from the tank in your house to the distribution tank, you should pay attention to turn off the pump and prevent water water (unless you have an automated system).
