In 2017, Lima ran out of water for several days due to the El Niño phenomenon, and given the possibility of a repeat of this phenomenon, how much can the economy of the capital lose?
National Sanitary Services AdministrationSunass) reports that Lima could lose SGD 1.113 million if left without drinking water for a week.
“If Lima runs out of drinking water for a week, it will cause economic loss for SGD 1,113 million in sectors such as housing, restaurants, retail and some manufacturing,” said Mauro Gutierrez, executive president of Sunass.
Lima currently has an average water consumption of 14 cubic meters, which means that a family of 4 consumes between 100 and 110 liters of water per day.
The five districts that consume the most drinking water per person per day: San Isidro (280 liters), Miraflores (238), La Molina (210), Barranco (177) and San Borja (176).
However, Sunass points out that a maximum consumption of 100 liters per family per day is ideal so as not to waste drinking water.
How much is lost due to water leakage in the house?
Sunass adds that the consequences of misuse of water at home are significant costs to the family economy.
For example, they note that about 150,000 liters of water are thrown out due to a broken toilet. waterresulting in an additional cost of S$1,405 in monthly service revenue.
In the event of an elevated tank leak, up to 300,000 liters per month was wasted, representing an additional payment of SGD 3,168 per month.
Similarly, a pipe in poor condition can consume up to 22,000 liters of water and generate additional costs of up to 88.7 S/88.7.
How not to waste water in vain?
not to waste drinking water to no avail Sunass suggests the following recommendations:
- Insert a plastic water/sand bottle (600ml or 1L) into the toilet cistern.
- Close your spout when you lather your hands.
- Bathing for a maximum of 5 minutes.
- Use a glass of water to brush your teeth.
- Reuse water from washing fruits and vegetables to water plants.
- Make sure water continues to flow after pulling the toilet bowl lever.
