Why do people waste water?

There´s something called “lack of water”, that´s when you don´t have access to clean water to do things you normally do like take long showers, wash your car, or flush the toilette when you require it.

People normally don´t realize how much water they really need, until they get the water turned off for one or two hours.

At the same time, in other parts of the world, people spend nearly they´re entire day searching for clean water and if they can’t find some for their family, they won´t have any water to drink, shower or cook food.

Each year, millions of people die from preventable diseases which are caused by a lack of contact with clean water.

  1. Hi! I would like to thank you because this blog was very informative 🙂 I would also like to know why was Barranquilla specifically your inspiration to write this blog — as you said in the widget—. Is there a special amount of water being wasted there or something like that? I’m curious about it!

    Thank you!

  2. I think that this is a big problem that we have and for many people it doesn’t matter and they didn’t dimentioned the effect that this could cause for the humanity and for the planet. I think that you give exellent examples that the people can understand easely because are situations of everyday life.

    I always try to not waste the water. But my dad is always wasting it. I always remember him to don’t that.

  4. I think that as the blog says, water is very but very important for personal hygiene and if we did not have serious health problems. The water should not be spent disproportionately so that it does not run out and we have problems in the future so we must be more aware and I think this blog shows what people need to take care of this resource

  5. Your topic is very important and interesting. People in barranquilla use much water and in other countries the people haven’t water to drink.
    We need know how to use not much water.
