A clean solution

Freshwater makes up a very small fraction of all the water on the planet. While nearly 70 percent of the world’s surface is covered with water, only 2.5 percent of it is fresh and the rest is saline and ocean-based. Of that only 1 percent of our freshwater is easily accessible, with much of it trapped in glaciers and snowfields. In essence, only 0.007 percent of the planet’s water is available to its 7.7 billion people for consumption. Given the high population growth, it is crucial that the scarce water resources we have be sustainably used and recycled.

Wastewater must also be treated because about 80% of it flows unfiltered into lakes, rivers, seas and oceans. This causes build up of contaminants and pathogens in these water bodies which harms the aquatic ecosystem.

Where does our waste water go?

Some of us are used to seeing water readily available for use either from taps or in containers. We use it to shower, clean our dishes, wash our clothes and lots more. We use variety of products for cleaning, like, soaps, shampoos, dish washers, detergents, disinfectants, etc. After a tasty meal the leftover food, oil and fat end up in your sink which is eventually flushed down the drain. At times the left over medicine, paints, fertilizers, etc are flushed too. Ever wondered what happens to the wastewater once we conveniently flush it down the drains?

We mostly don’t think it as something we should be concerned about but in fact we need to ponder over it because water is a valuable resource.
