The drought in Catalonia is a fact, not a myth and, therefore, it is something we need to be aware of.Here are some measures that can help us to start the change:- Repair water leaks: Regularly inspect taps, pipes and connections for leaks and repair them as soon as possible.- Install low-flow devices: Install low-flow showerheads and faucets to reduce water consumption without sacrificing water pressure.- Turn off taps properly: Make sure taps are turned off completely after use to avoid drips.- Reuse water: Reuse water whenever possible. For example, you can collect water from the shower while it is heating up and use it for watering plants or cleaning.- Take shorter showers: Reducing shower time can save a significant amount of water.- Use the washing machine and dishwasher with a full load: Wait until you have a full load before using the washing machine or dishwasher to maximise their efficiency.- Reuse cooking water: Water used for washing fruits and vegetables or cooking can be reused to water plants instead of being flushed down the drain.- Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or shaving: Don’t let the water run unnecessarily while doing activities such as brushing your teeth or shaving.
Little by little, we can help the big change.Start today!
