Today, 22 March, is World Water Day!

Although our planet is covered by approximately 70 per cent water, only a small portion is destined for human consumption.

This share sustains people’s lives, guarantees the functioning of ecosystems and drives the economy. Without it, economic activities such as manufacturing or extraction would not be successful.

The growing use of fresh water, together with its contamination and waste, jeopardises the availability and quality of this valuable resource.

 

That’s why Cluster Habitat Sustentável emphasises the need for sustainable practices, such as the conscious use of water, its circularity in process chains, the preservation of springs and rivers and the proper treatment of waste water.
