Water is all around us isn’t it? Rivers, lakes, the sea you swam in on holiday or live near to. There seems to be an endless supply. So why do people keep telling us we need to save as much as possible?
You're certainly not on your own if you think this. According to SES Water, 1 in 4 people admit to taking water availability for granted, with no idea how much water they use daily. 67% feel they can’t use less water than they already do. However, a study by the Water Regulation Advisory Scheme (WRAS), reported by WWT, found that people in the UK underestimate how much water they actually use by 55%. An average household uses 350 litres of water a day yet people estimate they only use 157 litres a day.
The problem is we do take things for granted. To be totally honest I didn’t realise the exact extent of this issue until I started researching everything below. I was 1 of the 4. If you have been thinking about saving water but not sure why you should be then this post is for you. It certainly opened my eyes to the nature of the issue we are facing. The information has also led me to look at my own habits when using water. I now know why there are so many campaigns and people telling us to save water and you will too.
It will answer the questions like:
Will water actually run out?
Why isn’t there enough water for everybody?
How will saving water help me?
Why is it important to save water anyway?
What are water companies and government actually doing to save water or are they just relying on us?
Answer:
Look, you can't drink polluted water. Out of that 3/4th, only 1% is drinkalble water. Since we are not highly advanced in technology(to convert that polluted water into drinking water), we need to conserve water.
