Objective
The idea of the project is to make Zaragoza a water saving city so that it saves 1.000.000 m3 in one year in household uses, changing consumption patterns and above all, through the effective installation of water saving technology in a responsible effort shared by government and social bodies, business and consumers.
The water shortage in Spain, affecting millions of people, is only somewhat related to rainfall. It is, in fact, more related to a culture that waste water. In recent years, despite a 10% decrease rainfall, water consumption has increased by 20%.
All of the factors that form this culture reinforce this model of excess water consumption through their reciprocal dependency. This culture of wasting water has its effects on industry, agriculture, public mains infrastructure and household usage patterns.
The project aims to achieve long-lasting changes in consumption patterns through a change in the installed technology. The project poses a challenge to the whole community: to save 1,000 million litres of water in one year in Zaragoza city. This will be achieved through a concerted effort by all individuals involved: technicians (plumbers, manufacturers, sales staff), public and social bodies, the media and consumers.
The project also aims to mould a Water Saving City, and thus proposes the discussion of savings in other urban uses (parks and gardens, industries, piping, etc.).
