Our body, like our planet, is made up of approximately 70% water. This element is as vital for us as for the rest of the living beings and therefore it is very important that we all make a responsible use of it.

Why should we take care of our water?

Because it is necessary for life. We could not last more than three or four days without drinking water. It is essential for the development of organic processes such as digestion, as well as in the absorption and elimination of waste. Besides, it provides structure to the circulatory system and distributes nutrients to the whole body through the bloodstream.

Because it is necessary for the environment. Water contributes to the stability and regulation of environments and the organisms that inhabit them, thus becoming a factor that determines the survival of the planet’s fauna and flora. It also plays a role in the photosynthesis process of plants, which has a great impact on ecosystems.

Because it is scarce. Although many of us have easy access to water through a faucet, not everyone in the world is as fortunate. Water scarcity affects more than 40% of the world’s population. Experts from the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs report that nearly 1.2 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water and are forced to travel long distances to find it and meet their most basic needs.
