Water is used in every aspect of life. With this being said, water is also the most thoughtlessly used natural resource on this planet. Everyday water is wasted either knowingly or unknowingly.
Conserve water, conserve life.
Causes of Water Scarcity
One of the biggest problems on our agenda in the world is water scarcity. In this article, I want to talk about the factors that cause water scarcity and the solutions that can be produced for them.
1. Unconscious agricultural irrigation
2. Pollution
3. Population growth.
It is one of the main causes of water scarcity.
While 70% of the fresh water is used in agriculture, 60% of the water used is wasted due to inefficiency and wrong farming methods.
The pollution that causes water scarcity is caused by many reasons such as farms, untreated wastewater, fertilizers used in agriculture and industrial wastes. With the increase in production and consumption depending on the population, the use of water is increasing unconsciously.
Solutions of Water Scarcity
So how can we find solutions to this situation? What ways can we take to prevent water scarcity?
1. We should pay attention to the time spent in the shower and shorten this time.
2. We should use water carefully while doing personal care such as external brushing.
3. In the dishwasher and washing machine, we should not run the machines before they are fully loaded.
4. We should raise the awareness of the manufacturers about the industrial wastes thrown into the waters.
5. We should raise awareness of farmers about agricultural irrigation.
Although these are some examples for you, as long as our aim is to prevent water scarcity, we should try to prevent anything that can cause water waste. And please do not forget, everything is in our hands.
