“Protection and rational use of water resources” is a generally accepted concept implying a reduction in water consumption, which can be used not only in industry, but also for agricultural purposes.
The protection of water resources depends on several conditions:
1) Reduced water consumption.
2) Optimized resource management system.
From this we can conclude that the protection of water resources directly depends on their rational use.
Water is renewed, but very slowly, so the cost of water should be equal to the amount of fluid that people use. If the balance is upset, then not only the existence of mankind, but also flora and fauna are at risk.
The scheme is simple: if the lake dries up, then all the fish die in it. Hydroelectric power stations, dams that are built where possible, can disrupt the natural habitat of species that are on the verge of extinction. Subsequently, the chain of natural selection will be launched. Without some species of plants, some species of fish and bacteria will die, without fish, some kind of birds that feed only on it will disappear, and without this species of birds one or another species of predators will die out. This situation will no longer be possible to solve, and it will be impossible to recreate dead specimens. Therefore, you should think three times before spending water on simple fun.
Protecting water resources can reduce the need for fluids, thereby not requiring a huge amount of water resources. In other words, this means that most hydropower plants (HES) are not needed at all.
How is the integrated use and protection of water resources implemented? This is an issue that has often been brought up for international consideration. Social services came up with a variety of advertising slogans, many parades and marathons were held under the slogan "Today we saved the water, tomorrow it will save us." That's just good and lasting results that did not bring at all.
Naturally, activists met everywhere who spent less water, but 10-20% is nothing compared to 80-90% of the population.
The easiest way to save water at home is to take a bath instead of a shower, turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth, do not wait until a pile of dishes accumulate in the wash basin, and wash one or two plates immediately after eating. Firstly, it will save money, and secondly, water that can be used for other purposes. Therefore, this is not only beneficial, but also beneficial for the country.
The same problem can be considered at the business level. There are many services that spend less or do n't use water at all. For example, car washes, infrared taps, ultraviolet, which purifies wastewater, or steam sterilizers, which are actively used in many medical institutions. All this is worthy of attention. The protection of water resources not only of one state, but of the whole world depends directly on this technique.
In some countries, as in America, there are cities in which a dry climate prevails. It is they that significantly reduce the use of water resources, since the population rarely crops on its territory, soils do not require additional moisture.
This suggests the conclusion that the protection of water resources is not an easy task. Do not think that everything depends on the government, which is trying to cash in on tariffs for cold and hot water. First of all, it is necessary to monitor what the water is spent in the house and minimize its loss, as the rational use and protection of water resources are equivalent concepts. This is important not only for a particular continent, but also for all the inhabitants of planet Earth who share the same oceans. It is also worth remembering that you do not drink much sea water, so you should not pollute rivers and lakes. Maybe it is from there that water gets into your faucet.
