Introduction
The aim of our work is the awareness
on water protection and its saving.
We want to show how essential water
is to life of every human being and
that we would not live without it.
Water
It’s a colourless, transparent and odourless liquid which forms the
seas, lakes, rivers and rain and is the basis of the fluids of living
organisms.
It is also a compound of oxygen and hydrogen (chemical formula:
H2O) with highly distinctive physical and chemical properties.

Tips to save water
To brush your teeth use a glass of water. It is
unnecessary that the tap is always on.
Choose a shower instead of immersion baths,
preferably that lasts up to 5 minutes.
Always use full loads in your washing machine
and dishwasher – this cuts out unnecessary
washes in between.
Some more tips
Fix a dripping tap. A dripping tap can waste 15
liters of water a day, or 5,500 liters of water a
year.
Watering plants at night or early morning
when water evaporation is less.
Water scarcity affects every continent…
Water scarcity in Africa
The lack of water happens because the reserves are finite, and the quantity
available is decreasing, furthermore, demand has increased due to population
growth. Today, the annual supply of water is 6,800 m³ per person, while in 1950
the number was 16,800 m³.

UN and the Water
It is estimated that one billion people do not have access to a sufficient
supply of water, defined as a source that can provide 20 liters per
person per day at a distance no greater than a thousand meters. These
sources include household connections, public fountains, ditches, wells
and protected springs and rainwater collection.
Blue stamp
The Blue stamp Program - Water Friendly Company is an initiative of the
University of Water to contribute to sustainable development.
The main aim of this program is to encourage and promote the
mobilization and recognition of organizations, products and services who
develop or sponsor programs, projects or actions focused mainly on socio
environmental conservation, protection and restoration of water, both in the
community and internal public.
Conclusion
This study concluded that there are
some countries that are rich in many
goods but there the water is worth
more than gold.
