Our Water Footprint

The water footprint measures the amount of water used to produce services we use. It can also tell us how much water is being consumed in a specific country or place. The water footprint is measured in units of volume (liters or cubic meters).

It makes us aware of the water consumption we need in all our activities. Also it helps us to  a reference value in our use of water and above all to value where we can improve as an Organization. 

Our water footprint its about 3473 cubic meter per year. The area in which more water we used is the domestic one.

  There are three types of water footprint:

Green water footprint:  is water for precipitation. It's very important for agricultural, horticultural and forestry products.

Blue water footprint: is water that cames from surface or groundwater resources and is either evaporated .Irrigated agriculture, industry and domestic water use can each have a blue water footprint.

Grey water footprint: considers point-source pollution discharged to a freshwaterdirectly through a pipe or indirectly through runoff.

Water Culture and Art

Water is the most important element for life. People is made of a 70% of water, and the Earth too. Water makes approximately 80% of the brain and is an essential element in neurological transmissions.Children/young people should drink around 1.5 litres of water each day. This is approximately 6 to 8, 200ml glasses. Also, water is the universal solvent , since it has a large capacity  to dissolve substances. Even  can dissolves almost all solid bodies.
Water has been used since antiquity as a symbol by which to express devotion and purity. Some cultures, like the ancient Greeks, went as far as to worship gods who were thought to live in and command the waters. Whole cities have been build by considering the location and availability of pure drinking water. The place of gathering was around the wells, which is perhaps the following trend in building fountains in the middle of squares.
