Water is a fundamental liquid for survival. However, many citizens are not aware of its importance and forget to rationalize its use. The world is made up of 70% water, but most of it is salty water not suitable for consumption. The desalination process continues to be very expensive, so we have no choice but to moderate and control water consumption. Only 0.5% of the world's water is available for consumption.
That is why from ecologiaverde we leave you these tips for responsible water use.
