WATER CRISIS - WATER POLLUTION II

The water crisis is a horrifying fact. What are the actions taken to fight this disaster? I would say very little! Why? Because we are on the wrong track! Yes, instead of stopping water wasting we are running after water treatment - it is right - but not enough and won't solve the problem. It is like you got infected with a microbe, you got a fever, a physician - smart one - should act on two processes: get rid of fever and kill the microbe - the source! As much as a microbe is in your body, you will get a fever. That should be the way to deal with the water crisis: Stop wasting water and at the same time clean the polluted water.

 “2.1 BILLION PEOPLE GLOBALLY DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO CLEAN, SAFE DRINKING WATER.

3.4 MILLION PEOPLE DIE EACH YEAR FROM SCARCE AND CONTAMINATED WATER”[1]

The population is increasing, and water sources and amounts on our planet are fixed quantities - this is a fact - you can revise figures from the internet or my previous blogs[2]. Everyone should participate either with solutions - for experts - or with engaging as a human being for your coming generations' security regarding water scarcity. I shall keep posting and reminding with the studies and figures regarding this matter.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO SAVE THOSE PEOPLE?

YES

I have more than 37 years of experience in textile wet-processing – Dyeing and printing – from my side, I created a process of dyeing – Proven in bulk production – saving up to 70% of water consumption. With a simple calculation, we will discover that it is possible.

Follow me.

How many cubic meters of water we need for 2.1 billion people? Let’s calculate:

2.7 Cubic meters are enough drinking water for one person for 900 days (Almost 2.5 years)[3].

2.7 /2.5 = 1.08 water cubic meters per year

2.7 x 2,100,000,000 = 5,670,000,000 billion water cubic meters of water enough drinking for 2.5 years for 2.1 billion people.

Hence, 5,670,000,000 / 2.5 = 2,268,000,000 water cubic meters per year.

2.2 BILLION WATER CUBIC METERS

Required every year to drink

2.1 BILLION PEOPLE

From where we can get these huge quantities!?

Don’t worry, just follow me.

5 billion (5,000,000,000) cubic meters (5 trillion liters) of water used each year for fabric dyeing alone! (World Resources Institute).[4]

5,000,000,000 x 70% (Saving) = 3,500,000,000 (3.5 billion) cubic meters of water SAVED!

3,500,000,000 / 1.08 (Enough drinking water for 1 person for 1 year) = 3,240,740,740 billion persons will have drinking water for 1 year.

ONLY FROM FABRIC DYEING

WE CAN SAVE

3.24

BILLION LIVES
