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
