India is on the move. Mc Kinsey research estimates India’s
urban population soaring
to 590 million in 2030.
The
report also says that two thirds of India is yet to be built and this will
happen in the next 30 years. With a considerable
share of urban population staying in metros, our land would be burdened with sustaining
our decent lifestyle. Out of other land resources, water is the most important.
For a family of 4-6 persons, about 300 litres
of water is required. Out of this a family normally consumes 30 litres as
drinking water treated by R.O. filtration process. As much as 270 litres of
water is wasted. So a household will further consume more water for domestic
purposes, ignoring the fact that water consumption is further set to rise and water
is a scarce resource. This residual water can be used for washing, rinsing,
mopping and cleaning et al.
Where
we talk about being prudent with water usage, pool lovers can’t be ignored.
You
can be the proud owner of a pool with a malfunctioning filtration system
where the plumbing and filtration cannot efficiently handle the cleaning of
pool water. This means you are stuck with water
that is always riddled with dirt, germs and potential diseases. Not to forget
the fact that the pool would consume high amounts of electricity to run the
pump for the filter longer.
And just to add to the
problems, should you decide to sanitize the pool with more chemicals; you end
up dumping too many chemicals into the water. This will bring in its own set of
problems, eventually requiring you to change the pool water.
Here, let’s not blame the
pool owners alone. There has been an increasing rise in groundwater withdrawal
for various purposes. Talking about our city, Delhi’s ground water level has fallen
by 5.83 meters. We all need to pay heed to this imperative issue.
Coming back to pools, it’s important
for you to know that the repercussions of not having chosen the right pool
builder , is not just limited to frequent draining out of pool water , of late
this has resulted into much fatal consequences. Next blog entry talks about
your safety in your own swimming pool.
