This may seem completely unfathomable to you, however, the issue that hit Cape Town was just one example of an issue happening that experts had been warning us about for years.
The problem has caused 40 states to warn that water availability will be a major concern within their states within the next decade.
But, what’s the solution?
We need water to live, and unless something happens soon, it’s expected that the demand for fresh water could exceed the supply by 2030.
This is why cities need to start looking into water recycling.
Why You Should Recycle Water Just like any other form of recycling, water recycling takes water that’s already been used and repurposes it.
Wetlands: We have mentioned this above, but due to water not being removed from its natural habitat, this will allow wildlife to flourish, diminish floods, and create better breeding grounds for fish and other wildlife due to improved water.
Future Supply: The most important reason for recycling water is that it’ll benefit us when it comes to fresh drinking water.
Your City With many cities across the world being in some form of water stress, and at risk of running low on demand, it’s important that government steps in.
Water shortages are a massive problem in the 21st Century.
