| Certain researches show that an average European/American uses about 90 liters of water/day for his personal necessities. Yes - 100 liters!!! This quantity seems to be exaggerated, isn't it? It's because you never thought about that. For example having shower twice a day will need about 75 liters of water, the rest 20-30 go on personal consumption (about 1-2 liters/day) and dish washing.
It's high time that we think about this, because we use drinkable water for our necessities, while the world has only 3% of drinkable water from the total world's water system The nearest future may bring a problem like water shortage, which will have irrecoverable effects. Why don't we begin to think about it now and use it rationally, it's still not late |

| There were opinions saying that the subject of the 3rd World War will be the drinkable water, which is now becoming less and less. |

| There are solutions for filling the shortage of water. Since the climate is getting warmer, African countries (and not only), can import iceberg. A piece of iceberg can supply a little town with water for a very long time. |

| Yes tulaka. But another problem appears here: since it will be brought as far as from Antarctica/Arctic, the transportaion will be very expensive, and, in turn, the water. |

| there are certain towns in Europe that are used to collect water from the roofs after rain. This water is used for many household things, including consumption. |

| that's why many houses have their roofs pained white. White colour is making the water poor as it was given by the rain, no bacterias. |

| water desalination is a solution for the water shortage. However this process if very expensive and requires a lot of energy. Scientists are now working upon a better universal desalination device. |
| tulaka |
| another way to save the water is to reuse the water from the sewerage networks. The point is that it's simple but the technology should be expensive. |
