“Over the next 20 years the average supply of fresh water world-wide per person is expected to drop by a third. Of all the social and natural crises we humans face, the water crisis is the one that lies at the heart of our survival and that of our planet Earth.”
UNESCO Director-General Koichiro Matsuura.
The US government projects that at least 36 states will face water shortages by 2012 because of a combination of rising temperatures, drought, population growth, urban sprawl, waste and excess. Last year’s Atlanta crisis serves as a clear warning that even perceived “Wet” states are not immune to water shortages.
Today 30% of the fresh water consumption of the average American home is used to flush toilets. We can no longer afford to flush our toilets with drinking water.
Grey Water recycling must be an integral part of our battle to conserve water without reducing our quality of life. Simply by recycling the used domestic bathing water to flush toilets you can reduce your domestic fresh water consumption by 30%.
Let Water Legacy help you conserve water so that your children can enjoy a world with sufficient fresh water for all.
