Hi freinds,
More often than not, we just leave tap on..and keep us engage in activities like washing with soap, brushing teeth, shaving, washing /cleaning vessels, ...and so son.
We, urban people r oblivious to the fact that-water has been pumped for us from reservoirs/water source...several tens of Kilo Metres...and we hardly think...how much enrgy(both electrical, mechanical) and manpower spent in getting water at our reach. My own conservative estimate that-every day, every family (say of 4-5 people), must have wasted about 50 litres (minimum). Think of an urban area with 1000 families...the wastage comes to 5000 litres.
Wait...!!!! .....I haven't added the wastage due to leakage in supply lines....malfunctioning of taps.( about 50% of taps have some minor to major leakage problems...)
I tend to think....even though..we have sent man to moon...we r yet to have simple, durable, cost effective water taps.
I am sure ..there may be some paper/book/document with stringent ISI standards /specifications for taps used for domestic purpose. Alas...!!..!!...but reality stares at us...with water flowing in our homes....as if we r on the shores of GANGA, YAMUNA......
my next blog ....please wait
