The British proposed water -saving target: 110 liters per day per day with water per day

The British environment, food and rural affairs have recently launched the target of water -saving, and strive to reduce the per capita daily water consumption by about 25%by 2050, from the current 145 to 110 liters.

The British "Sunday Times" reported on the 7th that the Ministry of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs proposed the above goals in the guidance documents of the Water Supervision Institution Water Administration. The government will also encourage local governments to adopt stricter water -saving standards for newly built houses. In addition, the government intends to discuss the use of mandatory water -saving labels for domestic and commercial products.

In recent years, Britain has frequently encountered extreme high temperature weather and drought. In some regions, the worst drought has appeared since July this year. In order to save water, Hampe County and White Island County disabled water pipes last week. Kent County, Sussex County and other places are also scheduled to implement the same ban in mid -this month.

On the other hand, according to the forecast of the water industry, by 2050, the average daily water consumption in the UK will increase by 4 billion liters. In order to meet this demand, the water company plans to greatly update the infrastructure and build a new reservoir and water pipe. However, insiders pointed out that infrastructure construction is huge and time -consuming, and it is difficult to solve the thirst.

The British Water Corporation Association supports the government's water -saving plan. It is believed that if the building water -saving standards are tightened and the performance rating of water -saving performance for large home appliances, the amount of water in the UK can reduce the amount of water by more than 2 billion liters per day. According to the association, the changes in living habits can also have a huge impact. For example, take a bath with a supercharged shower to spend less than a minute, and can save 13 liters of water; use a bucket to replace the water pipe to the water to save about 220 liters at a time; use the new toilet water tank, the amount of water for each rinse can be reduced from 9 liters to 5 liters of water.
