l'eau ne coule pas pour rien
Tips for taps!
| Le bain , cela fait presque 200 litres d'eau. Essayez de vous baigner dans 40litres. Bouchez la baignoire quand vous prenez une douche et comparez |
| La douche Installez une pomme a bas debit , Fermez l'eau quand vous vous savonnez. Limitez la douche a 5mn |
| Les toilettes Si vous n'avez pas une chasse equipee d'un syteme economique, placez des bouteilles emplies d'eau et de cailloux dans le reservoir . Ne bloquez pas le flotteur, n'utilisez pas de briques |
| Les toilettes ne sont pas une poubelle. Chaque fois que vous tirez la chasse pour rien, vous gaspillez entre 5 et 25 litres d'eau |
| L'evier Quand vous lavez du linge a la main, utilisez peu de detergents et ne prelavez que les habits vraiment sales |
| La machine a laver Choisissez le programme. Ne faites fonctionner la machine que quand elle est pleine Utilisez peu de detergents. Economisez l'energie en lavant a l'eau froide |
| La machine a laver Choisissez une machine qui calcule la quantite d'eau et d'energie selon le poids du linge |
| La voiture Choisissez un garage qui recycle l'eau Chez vous lavez a l'aide d'un seau. Utilisez l'exces d'eau pour arroser vos plantes |
| Le jardin Paillez, plantez des especes adaptees, plutot des especes locales. Limitez les pelouses |
| Le jardin Arrosez lentement, et bien mais pas souvent, le matin et le soir pour eviter l'evaporation. Installez des taftafoth, et des systemes a minuteries automatiques |
| Les piscines et spas Couvrir afin d'eviter l'evaporation. Ne pas faire deborder, Utilisez l'eau pour arroser |
| Les robinets Verifiez 2 fois par ans tous les robinets au jardin et a la maison. Remplacer les joints. Bien fermer les robinets |
| Les toilettes Verifier qu'il n'y a pas de fuites en ajoutant un liquide colore dans le reservoir. La couleur apparaira dans les toilettes sans que l'on tire la chasse si il ya une fuite |
| Le bain Bien boucher la baignoire. Faire d'abord couler l'eau chaude, n'ajouter de l'eau froide que plus tard. Utilisez l'eau du bain pour nettoyer la baignoire puis rincez birevement |
| Le lave vaisselle utilisez une spatule de caoutchouc pour gratter afin de limiter le pre rincage. Laissez tremper les casseroles et poeles sales |
| Le lave vaisselle Utilisez le seulement quand il est plei. Utilisez peu de detergent. Faites attention de ne pas salir trop de plats quand vous preparez a manger |
| Le chauffe eau. Recoltez dans un seau l'eau que vous laissez couler en attendant que l'eau devienne chaude, Utilisez la pour d'autres usages. Insulez les tuyaux |
| Boire de l'eau Demandez ce dont vous avez besoin. Au travail remplissez directement votre verre a la fontaine d'eau froide |
| La cuisine Nettoyez les leumes avec june brosse. Rincez avec de l'eau coulant par acoups. Utilisez un aerateur dans le robinet |
| La cuisine Ne degelez pas les aliments sous un courant d'eau, sortez les a l'avance, ou utilisez le micro onde ou placez les aliments dans un saladier empli d'eau |
| La salle de bains Ne laissez pas couler l'eau pendant que vous brossez vos dents ou que vous vous rasez. Ouvrir le robinet brievement pour rincer. Utilisez un rasoir electrique |
| 3 robinets: economie importante 2 robinets: economie moyenne 1 robinet: economie petite mais non neligeable |
Water Authority chief warns of possible shortage in 2008
from Haaretz July 2nd,
By Zafrir Rinat, Haaretz Correspondent
It will be difficult to meet projected water demand for 2008 if next winter's rainfall levels are
similar to those of last winter, said the head of the Water Authority Council, Prof. Uri Shani.
Lecturing at the Hebrew University Faculty of Agriculture in Rehovot last week, Shani warned
that Israel's water problems will worsen significantly in the coming years unless the production
of desalinated water rises sharply. The lecture was not intended for media coverage.
In the wake of Shani's warnings, the cabinet voted Sunday to increase water desalination in
Israel by 275 million cubic meters by 2013, bringing the total annual production of desalinated
water to 505 million cubic meters by that time, representing one-fourth of the country's water
consumption.
"The drop in water supply derives from atmospheric contamination, which affects cloud
composition and causes a drop in rainfall levels," Shani said after the cabinet meeting. "Every
year we record less water entering Lake Kinneret in the winter. Another factor in the drop in
water supply is contamination of the coastal aquifer, which reduces the amount of water that
can be pumped out."
The last drought in Israel lasted from 1999 to 2002. The main lesson was to have been the
implementation of a system based on producing large quantities of desalinated water, reducing
demand by saving water, and avoiding a situation in which the amount of water pumped out
exceeds the amount of rainwater that replenishes the country's water sources.
In practice, this year hundreds of millions of cubic meters of water in excess of rainfall amounts
were pumped, and the levels of groundwater (in the Mountain Aquifer and Coastal Aquifer) as
well as Lake Kinneret fell.
According to the Water Authority's latest figures, the Mountain Aquifer dropped by one meter
from the previous year.
Three months ago the authority's operating committee made several decisions on water pumping
policy. Participants agreed there is a serious likelihood that water levels in Israel's reservoirs will
fall below the "red lines," something that has not occurred for the past five years. That would
create a permanent risk of groundwater salinization and reduction in the Kinneret's water
quality.
The accepted policy in such situations is to pump less water and impose water-use restrictions on
various sectors. Shani said it may be necessary to reduce water allocations for agriculture next
year.
Environmental organizations and water experts criticized the Water Authority for making the
construction of expensive, new water desalination plants its main answer to the water crisis,
rather than investing in water-saving measures.
Shani says that water-saving methods have helped to reduce per-capita water use in the past 10
years from 115 cubic meters to 103 cubic meters. "Clearly there is a need for heightened effort
in this direction," Shani said after the cabinet meeting.
