Although there
is water in two thirds of our planet, only 2,5% of the liquid reserve is spring
water and 97,5% is salty water. Human activities require a vast
availability of spring water and that is why is it important to promote a
rational use of water.
It is impossible to talk about the development of a city without making
reference to the evolution of the architecture and of the constructions. The quantity of
inhabitants of a region is proportional to the edification of structures that
promote solutions in this matter. The construction activities require the
intervention of water as a base element to make the work. Specialists make
reference to the need of having efficiency in the use of water and this
protocol has to do with spring water
saving, but how can we achieve that goal?
There are more construction enterprises that are
concerned about the optimization of this vital liquid. The tendency of using rain water or recycled water in construction is
more frequent; therefore, the is a
decrease in spring water consumption and this is translated to a decrease
of costs when it comes to basic services.
Any plan applied to
make more efficient water consumption has to follow these paradigms:
- Guaranteeing the correct work of water systems in order to avoid leaks and an ulterior water waste
- Reducing water use via the implementation of technologies that allow the optimal distribution of the liquid taking into account the needs of the sector
- Sharpening the stocking processes of water
- Replacing potable water for rain water when it comes to construction mixtures
Watertreatment is essential to
decrease tap water consumption and to have a high quality environmental control. In Venezuela these are various
alternatives to have potable water depending on the type of contamination. The cleaning processes can include precipitation, neutralization, chemical and biological oxidation, reduction, filtration, and osmosis, among others.
The enterprise socialresponsibility is part of the engagement these enterprises have regarding water care:
the main resource is constructions.
