There used to be a broken faucet in my house, which kept leaking. Although there are few drops of water, I calculated that a drop of water is 1 g, 360 drops a minute, and 720 minutes a day is 360 grams, which is 259.24 kilograms. If a person drinks 65,438+000 kilograms a day, he can only drink for three days. It's really a small problem that turns into a big accident. If you don't know, this is a shock. If you don't change the faucet, won't the dripping water merge into a long river in the next two, three, four and five years? There are so many people who can't drink clean and hygienic water, and I'm still wasting water. I'm really sorry about the running water. I immediately called my father and changed a faucet, which was no longer leaking.

I once saw such a report on saving water on TV, saying that the waste water after bathing in a person's home was stored in a large reservoir under the bathroom floor tile, and the waste water was used to flush the toilet. I think it saves water. If every household is equipped with this equipment, bath water will not be wasted. Suppose you use 350 kilograms of water for bathing, 0/80 times a year, 63,000 kilograms of water a year, and 900 kilograms of water for flushing the toilet once, so you can flush the toilet 70 times. What an amazing number.

Look at such a set of data: China's per capita water resources are less than 500 cubic meters, far below the internationally recognized critical value of per capita 1 000 cubic meters. Many cities in the north stopped production due to lack of water, resulting in an annual loss of 654.38+0.20 billion yuan, and water shortage occurred in southern cities. At present, more than 300 cities in China are short of water, of which the serious water shortage is 108, and the water shortage is about100000 tons/day. Millions of people lack domestic water. ...
