How water is wasted 5

At present, the freshwater resources that are relatively easy for human beings to use are mainly river water, freshwater lake water, and shallow groundwater, and the reserves account for about 7/100,000 of the world's total freshwater reserves. According to research, from the perspective of the water cycle, about 9,000 kilometres of freshwater resources are actually used efficiently in the world per year3.

Water resources. The Earth's water resources, broadly speaking, refer to the total amount of water in the hydrosphere.

Seawater is brackish water and cannot be used directly, so the water resources commonly referred to mainly refer to freshwater resources on land, such as river water, freshwater lake water, groundwater and glaciers. Freshwater resources on land account for only the total amount of water on Earth, and most of them (nearly 70 percent) are solid glaciers, i.e. mountain glaciers in the polar regions and in the middle and low latitudes, which are difficult to exploit. At present, the freshwater resources that are relatively easy for human beings to use are mainly river water, freshwater lake water, and shallow groundwater, and the reserves account for about 7/100,000 of the world's total freshwater reserves.

According to research, from the perspective of the water cycle, about 9,000 kilometres of freshwater resources are actually used efficiently in the world per year3.

Generally speaking, areas with abundant precipitation have abundant water resources; Areas with low precipitation are poor in water resources. It reflects the abundance of water resources in a country or region, and is usually based on the total annual average runoff and per capita share. Total river runoff worldwide is 47,000 km3, with a per capita average of about 9,000 m3.

The total amount of river runoff in China is about 2,700 billion m3, and the average per capita share is about 2,400 m3, which is much lower than the per capita share of the world.

Because after washing hands, I always don't turn off the faucet and let the water drip off one by one.

The price of water is low, and the awareness of water conservation among citizens is poor

Crops cannot survive without irrigation, triggering droughts that lead to the entiretyEcosystemGo to pieces.

Despite the abundance of water on Earth, due to the availability of freshwater resources.

Water scarcity remains acute in many areas, as well as in the limited and unevenly distributed population, as well as rapid population growth and increasing water consumption in industry and agriculture. Although the water on Earth is renewable and constantly recycled, the water quality is deteriorating day by day due to the increasing environmental pollution. The global water crisis has brought great harm to mankind.

It has aroused the general concern of mankind.

Ways to conserve water resources

Some people have a habit of leaving the tap on while brushing their teeth or shaving, letting the water run away in a rattle – it's a real waste to do so. You may not believe it: if you could turn off the tap, you could save about 760 litres of water every month.

Try to shorten the bath time to 5 minutes, or even less, when taking a hot bath, everyone wants to enjoy a little more, about 76 litres of water flow out of the showerhead. If you do it quickly, you'll save a lot of water, and your body will be clean.

Consequences of wasting water resources:

1. Water resources are depleted, and human beings have lost the drinking water they need to survive in the form of hail. Drinking water will become too valuable to meet the needs of daily life.

2. The price of water**, the burden of daily life increases. The scarcity of water resources will lead to the rise of water and become a major burden on families.

3. Mining, causing ground subsidence. Without the support of groundwater, mining can easily cause collapse.

4. Crops cannot survive without wanton irrigation, and drought worsens in arid areas. The scarcity of water resources makes the water cycle unable to function, and if it does not rain in the sky, there is no way to irrigate crops, and the air is dry, which is not conducive to the growth of crops.

5. Waste and pollution make water scarcity even more scarce, and eventually lead to the collapse of the entire ecosystem.

Ways to save water:

1. The water that has washed vegetables and fruits can be left to water the flowers, flush the toilet, and wash the rice water can also be used to wash the dishes, which can not only save water, but also reduce some pollution of dish soap, and the water discharged from the washing machine can also be used to flush the toilet.

2. When washing your face and hands, you can use a basin to clean it, which can not only prevent the faucet from splashing everywhere, but also reuse the water, and wash the vegetables in the same way, which can avoid the faucet from opening wide and wasting water.

3. When washing clothes, it is best to wash clothes by hand, if you wash them in a washing machine, you can wait for the clothes to be filled with the washing machine before use, but you can't completely fill the clothes in the washing machine, otherwise the clothes will not be cleaned and water will be wasted.

Legal Analysis: Wasting water is illegal. Once it is found that there is a waste of water, the urban management department will punish it on the spot, and the maximum fine for wasting water is 10,000 yuan.

Punishment according to law is a punishment for those who waste water resources. The purpose of punishment is to make the offender dare not waste water resources anymore, so that everyone knows the law, understands the law, and abides by the law, and never does anything illegal that wastes water resources.

Legal basis: Water Law of the People's Republic of China

Article 7 The State shall implement a system of permits for water intake and a system of paid use of water resources in accordance with law. However, this excepts for rural collective economic organizations and their members to use water from the reservoirs and reservoirs of their own collective economic organizations. The competent water administration department shall be responsible for the organization and implementation of the national water intake permit system and the system of paid use of water resources.

Article 8 The State shall strictly conserve water, vigorously promote water-saving measures, popularize new technologies and processes for water conservation, develop water-saving industries, agriculture and service industries, and establish a water-saving society.

People at all levels should take measures to strengthen the management of water conservation, establish a system for the development and promotion of water conservation technologies, and cultivate and develop water conservation industries.

Units and individuals have the obligation to conserve water.

Hazards and consequences of wasting water resources: 1. Causing water resources to be depleted; 2. Cause water prices and increase the burden of life; 3. Crops cannot survive without irrigation, causing drought; 4. Cause the collapse of the entire ecosystem.

Ten tips for saving water:

1. Wash vegetables with rice washing water and then wash them with water, which not only saves water, but also effectively removes the residual pesticides on the vegetables.

2. Wash the mop, wipe the floor, and then flush the toilet with laundry water, and wipe the doors, windows, furniture, shoes and socks with the laundry water for the second wash.

3. Flush the toilet after urinating and urinating, try not to open a large water pipe for flushing, and make full use of the used "dirty water".

4. In summer, sprinkle water on the indoor and outdoor ground to cool down, and try not to use clean water, but to use laundry water.

5. When cleaning bicycles and family cars, do not flush with water, but wipe with a damp cloth. If the area is too dirty, it is also advisable to rinse it with the remaining water after washing the clothes.

6. Use water-saving equipment to flush the toilet, which can save 4-5kg of water each time.

7. For family watering, it is advisable to use rice water, tea, laundry water, etc.

8. A small amount of water should be used to wash towels, small clothes, melons and fruits at home, and it is advisable to use a basin to hold water, rather than to open the faucet to rinse with water.

9. The floor should be scrubbed with a mop, without washing with a faucet, and each household can save more than 200kg of water each time.

10. The faucet is prone to water leakage after long-term use, and you can use the rubber cap of a small medicine bottle filled with penicillin to cut a gasket that is the same as the original and put it in, which can ensure that the drip does not leak. <>
