Water is one of the most important resources in the world. Sadly it is poorly managed in many cases and there are concerns about how the supply can support a growing population. Professionals in various industries need to look into this issue. As some of the top architects London has, this is one of the things we are already working on.
Increasing consumption
According to the figures, the amount of water we consume globally has grown six fold in the last century. Now many countries around the world are dealing with water scarcity. If population growth continues and nothing is done, even more countries will start to struggle.
Conservation
People can do a lot more to help conserve water. For example households can ensure they turn off taps when brushing their teeth rather than letting them run. More importantly, they can ensure their plumbing is in good working order; a single small leak can waste litres of water per day. People can also ensure they have toilets that use less water. Many older models use more water and don’t have flush controls.
What can architects do?
Architects have a great opportunity to help improve water management and reduce consumption. They can advise clients about water efficiency and help them to choose the right products. For example modern water saving taps and toilets can save a huge amount of resources. They may have a higher initial purchase price but the savings on water bills and resources will be huge and long lasting.
On top of efficient bathroom products there are some really effective electronic water management systems to use. They can operate fittings electronically, reducing waste. Systems like this can save up to 30% on water costs.
Architects can help clients to look at the economic, social, and environmental factors around saving water. This can help them to make positive changes. Whether it is a single home or a large commercial building, this could save a great deal of water over the long term.
