🏴Effects


Everything that the ground water absorbs ends up in rivers, lakes, evaporated, in the rain and those lakes are the ones we take the water from, and it ends up in our houses, also that water is used for agriculture, so our food will be contaminated too.

Sustainable communities:

  • The drilling and exploitation of deep wells, Rainwater harvesting on roofs and Harvesting water births.

780 million people around the globe lack of clean water

DESAFIO is a worldwide organization which tries to eliminate the structural inequality access to water

System run by solar power and filters which provide safe water to vary poor communities

Water could become drinkable

In QUERETARO:

Cleaning of water through photocatalysts

Filtering water dams

Optimal use of water:

Use water-saving irrigation systems, reuse gray water, dual valves implemented in houses and water saving faucets

Biodigesters

Community water treatment:

Coagulation and Flocculation, Sedimentation and Water Softeners

In Queretaro and Around the world, new technologies are strongly needed in order to clean and preserve the water we have.

Queretaro is supposed to run out of water eventually, so technology needs to prevent this

In Mexico:

Pueblo Sacbé, Ecovillage Huehuecóyotl and small communities in Monterrey,

15 liters of water per human (including activities)
