Save Water!

In some countries, water is scarce. Think about it when you are travelling. In developing countries, the average tourist uses as much water in 24 hours as a local villager does in 100 days. Be careful: take as few baths as possible and avoid wasting this precious liquid.

A dripping tap can lose 15 litres of water a day. If it drips at a rate of one drop every second, A leaking toilet can lose 45 litres a day.

About 65 % of the water people use is pumped from underground aquifers. However, more is drawn off than is naturally replaced because impervious surfaces such as pavement and buildings prevent rainwater from entering the ground; therefore, aquifers are gradually being drained dry. Some aquifers close to the sea - in Spain, for example - have started to fill up with salt water. In India, the water table has dropped by between up to 3 metres over three-quarters of the country's area. This shortage is evidence of the need for proper conservation and management instead of technological fixes, such as desalinisation plants, to access more water.

So please take care of these small things that can lead to a big disaster in our future.... Act fastly....
