How to care for water, an important resource for the future of humanity.

in #blog6 years ago (edited)

  Where we live?  

 The Earth is known by all as "The Blue Planet", a land mass whose great part is covered by a single element, water. But ... Have you ever thought that it is the exact proportion of water on our planet? If you are one of those curious people who always want to know new things, from the post @caquintero we wanted to answer this question as easily as posible.  

  If we focus on the liquid, the total amount is divided into 96.5% of salt water and 3.5% of fresh water that we can find in the rivers and lakes mentioned above. Without forgetting the underground natural aquifers and ice that melt at the poles every year. For this reason we can say that 69% of the fresh water of our planet is completely frozen. A percentage that decreases over the years due to greenhouse gases.  

  How much water is there on the planet? 

If all the percentages of ice mentioned above kept the water in liquid state, the level of the sea would increase with an increase in height of approximately 2.7 kilometers. That is, we would obtain about 1,300 million cubic kilometers of water, equivalent to 1/4400 of the total mass of the planet (0.02%).  

Throughout the history of humanity there have been several wars, many of them by natural resources, Gold, Diamonds, Oil, Coal among others, but this world is approached by a very big controversy a future war for a mineral more important than all the aforementioned together, this is Water, a resource that almost nobody on the planet thinks is important but if it is, since "Life is water and water is life", very controversial the saying but the reality another. There is a phenomenon that is finished with the reserves of clean water in the world and it is the consumerism of the human being for the construction of polluting chemical industries and the overpopulation discriminated without taking preventive analysis to preserve the fauna or river basins, they only destroy and build how is that? Destroy the environment and build urbanisms or factories do not let the water cycle flow naturally.  

  But what can we do to avoid that Future?

 In this post, we are going to give you 12 methods to save water in front of everything that may come in the future, to take care of the water where you live is to take the water of your country and the planet to continue saving and taking care of the water: 

1. Close the key when brushing your teeth. 

2. Carry lots of clothes with full load when using the washing machine. 

3. Check the keys and pipes to prevent water leakage. 

4. Avoid washing cars with jet hoses. You can wash the vehicle with buckets of water, rags or rags. 

5. Avoid the use of hoses because they generate a greater consumption of water. 

6. Verify that the water consumption is adequate with the meters, since it can present leaks or alterations in the pipes. 

7. use saving showers that allow control in the power of water. 

8. Do not use the bathroom as an ashtray. 

9. Unload the toilet when necessary. 

10. Place bottles with water inside the toilet cistern to avoid further consumption in each discharge. 

11. Reduce bath time. 

12. Place a dish under the pots, this helps keep the soil moist longer.
