Especially in the recent period, there is a lot of talk about the water crisis and wastage of drinking water: but what is meant and more importantly, what are the possible solutions?
Water, as we all know, is an indispensable resource for our lives: consequently, the right to access to clean water is inalienable. A series of interlinked and connected events, however, are putting this right and the presence of clean water sources at serious risk:
- global warming, first and foremost, which has caused an increase in the seasonal average of temperatures globally;
- a widespread drought caused by a lack of precipitation on the ground (rain and snow);
- the increase in the world’s population (which is estimated to continue growing in the coming decades) and therefore an increase in demand for drinking water;
- pollution, which contributes to unusable (i.e., « dirty ») drinking water sources due to the spillage of metals and chemicals.
In addition to the (partial) causes listed above, there is also the mismanagement of available drinking water sources, i.e., the waste of otherwise usable water. It is even estimated that, due to « leaks » in water distribution systems, 60-70% of drinking water extracted from clean sources is lost. An even higher figure when looking at the distribution system in the agricultural sector.
Some possible solutions are there: now, and as never before, it is time to put them into practice. In part, it is just up to us to do something concrete to counter this crisis. Let’s take a look together at some small but crucial steps that you can start putting into practice right now:
- Install a water dispenser connected to the water supply;
- prefer the frangible faucet;
- always check for leaks in the pipes;
- invest in a flush with differentiated quantity;
- use household appliances (washing machine and dishwasher first and foremost) at full load and possibly with eco programs;
- prefer local and seasonal fruits and vegetables with sustainable packaging;
- minimize the use of plastic and other pollutants.
Blupura, which has always been at the forefront of the fight against environmental impact, offers innovative and sustainable solutions useful in combating water waste. An example of this are the products in the Blubar line, all of which are equipped with « portion control »: a simple, but super effective volumetric control technology that allows you to customize the amount of water dispensed. Another example? UNICO: the first dispenser equipped with Artificial Intelligence and sensors that can recognize the type of container, initiate water dispensing and stop it automatically achieving maximum optimization of the resource and, most importantly, zero waste. And our commitment does not stop « only » at products (designed as much as possible with recycled materials): we are also the first player in the market to use natural refrigerant gases such as R290, a choice that allows our customers to actively contribute to the fight against global warming. Last but not least, how can you not think of the thousands of plastic water bottles you could avoid buying by choosing a refrigeration system connected directly to the water supply?
A greener future is possible, with the help of technology and the sensitivity of each of us: start reducing your environmental impact now by choosing Blupura to safeguard our planet’s most precious resource!
