Water Consumption

 

  • Try to close taps well after use. A drip per second is equivalent to 30 litres of wasted water each day, something this Region cannot afford.

 

  • Close taps to soap yourself and use no more than the amount of soap required; this reduces rinsing time and makes subsequent purification of the water easier.

 

  • Close the tap while doing other things such as brushing your teeth or shaving. Using a glass for rinsing you can save up to 90% of water used for washing.

 

  • Do not use the WC as a waste bin; nor should you flush unnecessarily. If it has a dual flush mechanism, always use the appropriate option.

 

  • Have showers instead of baths. Water consumption for a shower is usually 5-6 times less than that of a bath.

 

  • Do not throw rubbish into rivers or streams.

 

  • If you are showering at the swimming pool, make sure you turn off the shower before getting into the water.

 

  • Collaborate with the tourism establishment you are at, and follow its recommendations to help reduce water consumption.
