Wasting Fresh Water: Stopping Systemic Failures

Simple Scenario  Let’s consider filling your family car with fuel  If you use for example 100 Euros of fuel each and every week  If 30 Euros of that fuel spilled onto the highways – Due to a leak in your fuel tank  Would you just allow that to happen and do nothing ?? – If that continued for 52 weeks, then you have lost 1560 Euros of fuel  So of course …. the answer is “No!!”

 …. but this is what happens to our water supplies – Around 30% of water is treated and never makes it to the point of usage
