WORLD WATER DAY – MARCH 22
Wastage of water in Daily use:
• One toilet flush uses 3 gallons of water• Shower for 10 mins – 50 gallons• A single load of laundry – 40 gallons• Brushing with tap running – 4 gallons• For a face wash – 1 gallon
If we brush with tap off - 0.25 gallons
Some facts:
• 4,000 children under the age of five die every day from preventable water-related diseases.
• 2.2 million children could be saved every year by investing in clean water and sanitation.
• Access to clean water can reduce deaths from water-related diseases by 21%.
• 50% of deaths from diarrheal diseases can be cut by washing hands with soap and water.

Rough Idea about water harvesting in Bangalore:
• Total area of Bangalore – 741 km2 • Total population – 8.426 million• Annual average rainfall – 978 mm• If rain water harvesting is implemented fully
then – 724698 liters can be saved• On an average around 2 liters are saved for

Industries are thirsty
Agriculture is thirsty
