Sustainable Water Management Strategies
UW Sustainable Water Management Strategies Discussion
Consider how much water you use every day for household purposes (toilets, dishes, cleaning, watering the lawn or gardens); how much is related to personal use (shower/baths, brushing your teeth, washing your car), and how much is related to food consumption — not just the coffee or other things you drink (besides water), but the kinds of food you eat, where they are from, and the comparative water cost to produce them.
If, as Marq De Villiers says, “thrift” is a virtue, how could you be more “thrifty” with your water consumption? Identify ways you could cut down on the use of fresh water in your own life. Would you do this on your own, or would you need someone else directing your water consumption (like the government)?
Second, consider a place where there is water insecurity – you perhaps may have lived in such a place, or relatives do right now; you might have visited somewhere like this; or at least look up details about a place where there is a shortage of clean drinking water. Considering your “thriftiness” plan in part one, how impressed would people in this water-short community feel about it? What could you learn from them about water conservation, for example? And — given that water is SDG #6, what could you do to make a difference where they live?
