Virtual class about optimal use of water

According to the coordination with Water Company, the optimal water consumption class at Bina Hospital was held on 16/02/2020 for the staff.

In this class, Mr. Mohammad Reza Ezzati, expert of Water Company, said very good points, including:

The United Nations says every human being needs at least 50 liters of water a day to be able to drink, prepare food and meet their health needs. In fact, this 50 liters of water is vital for avoiding all kinds of diseases and maintaining human efficiency in life. But the World Health Organization has set an average of 150 liters daily to meet the health needs of each person.

Worldwide, 10 billion tons of water is consumed daily

However, according to the same organization, only 3% of the water in the world can be drunk, and the rest of the water is inedible.

In order to use water optimally, pay attention to a few points when buying a washing machine:

-Try to buy energy labels A +++ don’t buy energy labels B water Energy labels A is half the energy labels B.

-Do not buy semi-automatic washing machines, buy fully automatic (semi-automatic washing machines are obsolete in the world)

-Do not use washing machine with low clothes, turn it on with full capacity.

-The best time to turn on the washing machine is 10:30 pm to 5 am.

-One of the places where you use a lot of water is the bathroom. Please reduce the bathing time to 5 minutes and use low-consumption tap water or just install a high pressure shower in the bathroom. These showers reduce the water output to 11 liters per minute.

-Tehran water is one of the top 10 waters in the world (according to WHO documents of the World Health Organization) and is better than mineral water and Purified water.

-Wash your cars with a bucket of water and in this way you will reduce consumption by up to 40% or take your car to the car wash. Professional car washes with special equipment use about 440 liters of water less than when you wash the car yourself. Sometimes laziness can be very effective in protecting the environment.

- 2 points for water coolers, if you apply them, we will have a 20% reduction in consumption: coolers must have a canopy, even at the cardboard level, and we must not have a drop from the bottom of the cooler.

-Do not store water in the refrigerator for more than two days.
