Water is a Valuable Resource
Water is a valuable resource. Every living thing needs water to survive. It should be used as efficiently as possible.
As the human population increases, water use increases; yet water is a limited resource. Fortunately, it is also a renewable resource.
The water cycle brings water to the earth in the form of precipitation (rain, snow, etc.). It falls on impermeable surfaces – such as roofs and pavement - and on porous surfaces – such as lawns – as well as into oceans, lakes and rivers. It filters through porous surfaces into underground aquifers. Throughout this process, it provides water for use by plants and animals.
Water evaporates from land and water surfaces, from animals, and, via transpiration, from plants to form water vapor. This water vapor then condenses and returns to the earth as precipitation.
Predictions, based on current population growth rates, estimate that nearly half of all humans will be living in areas experiencing severe water stress by 2050. With uneven precipitation received across the populated areas of the world and temporary water shortages caused by heat and drought, many regions are already experiencing stress.
DAY ZERO in Cape Town is currenly estimated for the 2019. Day Zero is when the taps will run dry and all citizens will have to queue for 25L of water per person rasioning per day........unless everyone do their bit to drastically reduce and save water and Cape Town receives sufficiant rain during the upcoming rainig season. Current level 6B water restrictions allow for 50L of water per person per day. This equates to only 6000L of water per family of 4 per month. We have to do everything to reduce our water usage before our taps run dry.
We sell a range of Tap Aerators to help reduce water consumption. Normal taps use 9-15L of water per Minute. Far more than in neccasary to do everyday tasks like brushing your teeth, or washing your hands. Our current Aerators can reduces your water flow rate of your tap to just 1.3 L of water per minute.
