Poles waste water not only by not turning the taps off while shaving or brushing their teeth , but also ... by throwing food away .
Inefficient washing , frequent dish , watering a garden - careless use of water is a big problem. But there are bigger problems , too . We often waste water without even realizing it . An old leaky pipe - a typical example of accidental water wasting
Polish water resources are smaller than , for example , Egyptian ones and one decent drought can make the taps dry in many Polish cities .
Researchers say that a leaky faucet , from which water drips at a frequency of one drop per second , means losses of up to five thousand liters per year .
Water wasting in Tenerife
Water wasting by tourists is a big problem in Tenerife.
Lots of tourists staying in the Tenerife’s hotels forgets about limited potable water resources of the island .
Taking too many showers or baths , using too much water for washing , flushing toilets and wasting food are the problems which hotels in Tenerife and the Canary Islands cope with .
We should realize that there is a problem today before it’s too late ! Be aware of water wasting and save water wherever and whenever you can ! Tell your friends and make them aware , too !
