How important is water to us? Everyone cannot live without water. Today is World Water Day. It is a meaningful festival for everyone of us. n order to arouse public awareness of water, on January 18, 1993, the United Nations conference on environment and development, the 47th United Nations general assembly according to formulate the recommendations in the action agenda for the 21st century, passed resolution 193, determine since 1993, the annual March 22 as "world water day", to promote the comprehensive overall planning and management of water resources, strengthen the protection of water resources, solve the increasingly serious water shortage problem. At the same time, extensive publicity and education activities are carried out to enhance public awareness of the development and protection of water resources. Let's save water, don't let the last drop of water become our tears! Here, Quadranteco appeals to everyone to save water and use water reasonably, let's do it!
Water is an indispensable and irreplaceable important natural resource and environmental element for the survival of all life and the development of social economy. However, the population growth in modern society, the rapid development of industrial and agricultural production activities and urbanization have had a huge impact on the limited water resources and water environment. Globally, the water pollution, the rapid increase in water demand and the unreasonable utilization caused by development have further limited water resources and worsened the water environment, which has seriously affected the development of society and economy, and many countries will fall into the dilemma of water shortage. What is the concept of water shortage? From a macro point of view, water shortage will affect the development of industry and agriculture, thus affecting the sustainable development of the whole economic chain. In many production activities, water is an essential factor, once encountered the problem of water shortage, will seriously affect the operation of production activities. For agriculture, water irrigation is more important. Without water, most crops lose the conditions for growth. From a closer perspective, occasionally we run into a situation where we don't have water for a day or a few days because of problems with locks and things like that that need to be fixed. Let alone a few days, just a day off the water we will feel particularly unsuitable, living water has become one of our rigid needs, suddenly one day home or company water, it directly affects our normal life needs and work rhythm. So, we really should think about, how to save water, how to care for water resources.
Some people ask, the earth is so big, isn't the water storage very rich? Indeed, the Earth's water reserves are abundant, amounting to 1.45 billion cubic kilometers. However, sea water accounts for 97.2 percent, land fresh water only 2.8 percent, and rivers, freshwater lakes and shallow groundwater, which are most closely related to human life, only account for 0.34 percent of fresh water reserves. You see, this limited amount of fresh water, in fact, there is not much room to enjoy. In addition to our daily use, water pollution is also a problem that affects water resources. Every day, a large number of industrial, agricultural and domestic waste water is discharged into water. In 2013, more than 420 billion cubic meters of sewage is discharged into rivers, lakes and seas all over the world every year, polluting 5.5 trillion cubic meters of fresh water. Now, seven years later, how many cubic meters of fresh water resources are polluted? In a few more seven years, how polluted will the fresh water resources be? We can't imagine!
Let's take a look at the growing scarcity of fresh water. More than half of the countries and regions in the world lack drinking water, especially the economically underdeveloped countries of the third world, where 70 percent, or 1.7 billion people, have no access to clean water. According to the relevant United Nations data, approximately 6,000 children die every day from diseases caused by unsanitary water and inadequate sanitation and sanitation conditions, which is equivalent to the crash of 20 large passenger planes every day. Let's take a look at the situation of fresh water in our country. There are two major water problems in our country: one is the shortage of water resources, and the other is the serious water pollution. Some data show that China is a country with severe drought and water shortage. The per capita freshwater resources are only 1/4 of the world average, ranking 110th in the world, making it one of the countries with the poorest per capita water resources in the world. The amount of water resources available per capita is only 900 cubic meters, and the distribution is extremely uneven. More than 300 cities across the country are short of water, and 29% of the people are drinking poor water. Such a serious fresh water problem, we should act immediately, at least, start from our own, save every drop of water, cherish every drop of water.
The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment and World Water has warned that after the oil crisis, the next crisis for mankind is water. Therefore, it is incumbent on everyone to protect and use water resources more effectively and rationally. In our daily life, saving water is the most direct and effective way that we can do. With milk tea, fruit tea, coffee and drinks become more and more popular for the consumers, unfinished glasses of drink can be seen everywhere on the streets or in garbage. If you know you cannot finish drinking so much, you may buy the smallest cup, at the very least, it can reduce a lot of drinks with waste. Every wasted drink contains fresh water resources. However, there are countless drinks thrown away in every city every day. If wasted for a long time, how much of our water resources will be left?Although said that change the time and space distribution of water resources and improve the utilization efficiency of water resources is the government can do, but, as a member of the global village, we should also contribute an own strength, at the very least, we can begin from the control of a cup of drink consumption, begin from the closing tap and begin from education the next generation, for the sustainable use of water resources and sustainable development efforts.
As a firm partner of green action, Quadranteco is not only committed to research and development and production of environmental protection products, but also in the production process is the use of high-tech and efficient machines, strictly abide by the principle of energy saving and water saving, to ensure quality production of products. We firmly believe that only sustainable development of the environment and energy can lead to sustainable economic development. We are willing to work with all environmental activists to contribute to the sustainable development of social energy!
