World Water Day special: Make a difference with water efficiency
12
Today, World Water Day. On December 7, 1972, Apollo 17 can be easily seen from the space of our world photo. To this photo Blue Marble (Blue Bilye) ]] there is a very reasonable reason: our world is a mass-blue planet, covered by 71% of water. There is still no benefit from this blue. 97% of water on earth consist of salt sea and ocean waters. The large part of the sweet water with only 3% of a orana is in the form of mountain iceuls and polar buzu. In summary, about 0.5% of water resources on the earth can be used.

As we understood from the trages, our source of life is water, leave the poem to be “bedaway”, very scars and so precious. A great chance to wash our face with water flowing from our taps. HomeNo access to the reliable drinking water services of about 2,1 billion people worldwide according to theBM data. If the Quran threatens the life of 1,9 billion people living in 110 countries, and this figure is expected to rise to 3 billion.

The table is not so bright when we look at the private of our country: As Turkey has not been considered as a rich country of water, with its growing population, developing industry and rapidly growing cities is estimated that our country will be a country suffering from water shortage in 2030.

Economic growth and rapidly rising population is expected to increase by 18% if the global water consumption has tripled over the past 50 years, in developing economies, in developed economies. In summary, the need for water is increasing every day.

Peki, where water is used?
Water consumption is divided into domestic, agricultural and production. In domestic consumption, water installation, white goods, fixtures and reservoirs give positive results. The use of methods such as drip irrigation in agricultural production allows water saving and measures salting and erosion of the territory.

If the water used in the production saves, a chaining effect reveals. Water is one of the most important inputs in production. 10 liters of water is consumed to produce a page paper. Full 91 litres if the footprint of 500 grams of plastic in water. Approximately 400 % of the demand for water used in production between 2000-2050. Therefore, studies aimed at sustainable use of water in production are of great importance.

When the water efficiency projects are called, ]waste water treatment and reuse, the collection of rainwater, the modernization and maintenance of the machine equipment park, the use of water-efficient tap and installation materials ]gibi headers come. Moreover, these types of projects provide significantly added value as they trigger many different areas in the production process. With water efficiency projects, energy cost, raw material use and repair costs are reduced, while the greenhouse gas release is also reduced. As a result of all these studies, with the efficiency provided in the production process, more and more quality products appear.

The most used sectors of water include food, beverage, textile, agriculture, energy generation, marine, entertainment and production. With many innovative efficiency applications in these sectors, it can save different proportions in water. For example, some big beverage companies continuously reduce the water used in production facilities for the last 10 years. Industry organizations develop zero-water targeted production models. The water used in swimming pool, shower and wash basins in a 500-room tourist facility can be saved about 30,000 m3 water annually with reuse in areas such as irrigation and cooling tower. In a large-scale chemical production facility, automaticized systems and high-tech equipment can reach 130.000 m3 levels of annual water saving.

Production, consumption and more importantly the importance of water for life in the middle. It is necessary to organize every area of life according to the sustainability of this valuable asset. Because it is connected to the smart use of the water that produces more with both a sustainable future and less resources. [ ]
Happy World Day...
