This city wastes 710,000 cubic meters of water annually. When we wash our cars, which are heavily polluted inside and outside, we do not think about where the business establishments get their water. Similarly, when a homeowner waters vegetables in their garden, we rarely wonder what kind of water they use. After taking a bath, do we think about how many people in other countries are in dire need of clean water? We may not even realize how much clean water is wasted when we flush the toilet.
These simple habits, which have become a part of our daily life, are exacerbating the issue of drinking water shortages. We either don't realize it or continue to waste water without thinking. In Kazakhstan, and indeed worldwide, water has now unofficially become the new oil. It is a finite resource, and its cost is extremely high. Therefore, the issue of saving drinking water remains relevant. Water consumption principles have not been established at the domestic level, nor in industries, construction, and technical services. In major cities across the country, including Oral, drinking water is used for washing cars, in baths, and in technical service centers instead of using technical water.
