Molo bahloli bamazwe basezidolophini, abantu abaya epakini, abantu abazulazulayo kwikhampasi, kunye nabantu abasela iziphuzo abazikhathaleleyo! Kwihlabathi elintywiliselwa yiplastiki esetyenziswa kanye, kukho iqhawe elithobekileyo elinika ukutya okumnandi nokufikelelekayo simahla: umthombo wokusela kawonke-wonke. Ezi zinto zidla ngokunganakwa, ngamanye amaxesha zingathenjwa, kodwa ziphinde zakhiwa ngokutsha, zizinto ezibalulekileyo kwiziseko zophuhliso loluntu. Masiyeke ukugxeka size siphinde sifumane ubuchule bokusela kawonke-wonke!

Ngaphaya kweNto ethi “Ew”: Iintsomi Zomthombo Oqhekekileyo

Masithethe nomntu onzima egumbini: “Ingaba imithombo kawonke-wonke ikhuselekile ngokwenene?” Impendulo emfutshane? Ngokubanzi, ewe – ingakumbi leyo yanamhlanje, igcinwe kakuhle. Nasi isizathu:

Amanzi kaMasipala Avavanywa Kakhulu: Imithombo kawonke-wonke ehambisa amanzi empompini ivavanywa ngokungqongqo kakhulu nangokuphindaphindiweyo kunamanzi asebhotileni. Iinkonzo zamanzi kufuneka zihlangabezane nemigangatho yoMthetho we-EPA Safe Drinking Water Act.

Amanzi Ayageleza: Amanzi amileyo ayinto exhalabisayo; amanzi ageleza esuka kwinkqubo exinezelekileyo awanakwenzeka ukuba abe neentsholongwane eziyingozi kanye ngexesha lokunikezelwa.

I-Modern Tech itshintsha indlela abantu abaphila ngayo:

Ukusebenza Ngaphandle Kokuchukumisa: Iisensors zisusa isidingo sokucinezela amaqhosha okanye iziphatho zentsholongwane.

Izihluzi zebhotile: Iimpompo ezizinikeleyo nezigobileyo zithintela ngokupheleleyo ukudibana komlomo.

Izinto ezilwa neentsholongwane: Ii-alloys zekopolo kunye neengubo zithintela ukukhula kweentsholongwane phezu komhlaba.

Ukucoca Okuphucukileyo: Iiyunithi ezininzi ezintsha zinezihluzo ezakhelwe ngaphakathi (ngokuqhelekileyo i-carbon okanye i-sediment) ngokukodwa ezisetyenziselwa ukugcwalisa umthombo/ibhotile.

Ukugcinwa Kwemihla Ngemihla: Oomasipala kunye namaziko ahloniphekileyo acwangcise ukucoca, ukucoca, kunye nokuhlolwa komgangatho wamanzi kwimithombo yabo.

Kutheni Imithombo Kawonke-wonke Ibaluleke Kakhulu Kunangaphambili:

Umlwi wePlastiki weApocalypse: Ukusela rhoqo emthonjeni endaweni yebhotile kuthintela inkunkuma yeplastiki. Khawuthelekelele impembelelo ebekuya kuba nayo ukuba izigidi zethu bezikhetha lo mthombo kube kanye ngemini! #GcwalisaAkukho Kuzalisa Umhlaba

Ukulingana kwamanzi: Babonelela ngokufikelela simahla nangokubalulekileyo emanzini akhuselekileyo kubo bonke abantu: abantwana abadlala epakini, abantu abangenamakhaya, abasebenzi, abakhenkethi, abafundi, abantu abadala abahambahambayo. Amanzi lilungelo lomntu, asilomveliso yodidi oluphezulu.

Ukukhuthaza Imikhwa Esempilweni: Ukufumaneka kwamanzi lula kukhuthaza abantu (ingakumbi abantwana) ukuba bakhethe amanzi kuneziselo ezineswekile xa bephumile besiya emsebenzini.

Iindawo Zoluntu: Umthombo osebenzayo wenza iipaki, iindlela, iiplaza kunye neekhampasi zamkeleke ngakumbi kwaye zibe lula ukuhlala kuzo.

Ukuqina: Ngexesha lobushushu okanye iimeko ezingxamisekileyo, imithombo kawonke-wonke iba zizixhobo ezibalulekileyo kuluntu.

Dibana nosapho lweMithombo yanamhlanje:

Iintsuku ze-spigot enye nje enomhlwa ziphelile! Izitishi zanamhlanje zokufunxa amanzi zifumaneka ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo:

I-Classic Bubbler: Umthombo oqhelekileyo ome nkqo one-spout yokusela. Khangela ulwakhiwo lwentsimbi engagqwaliyo okanye yobhedu kunye nemigca ecocekileyo.

Intshatsheli yeSitishi Sokugcwalisa Iibhotile: Idla ngokudityaniswa ne-spout yendabuko, le ine-spigot esebenza nge-sensor, ejikeleza kakuhle egobile ngokugqibeleleyo ukuze izalise iibhotile ezinokuphinda zisetyenziswe. Itshintsha umdlalo! Uninzi luneekhawuntara ezibonisa iibhotile zeplastiki ezigciniweyo.

Iyunithi efikelelekayo ehambelana ne-ADA: Yenzelwe ukuphakama okufanelekileyo kwaye ineendawo zokuphumla zabantu abasebenzisa izitulo ezinamavili.

I-Splash Pad Combo: Ifumaneka kwiindawo zokudlala, idibanisa amanzi okusela nokudlala.

Ingxelo Yoyilo: Izixeko kunye neekhampasi zifaka imithombo emihle neyobugcisa ephucula iindawo zikawonke-wonke.

Amaqhinga okuSela ngobuchule: Ukusebenzisa imithombo yamanzi ngokuzithemba

Nangona ngokubanzi kukhuselekile, ukuqonda okuncinci kuyanceda kakhulu:

Jonga Ngaphambi Kokuba Utsibe (okanye Usele):

Ibhodi: Ngaba kukho uphawu oluthi “Alukho kwiNkqubo” okanye “Alukho kwiMisebenzi yamanzi”? Luthobele!

Ukujonga Okubonakalayo: Ingaba umngxuma ubonakala ucocekile? Ingaba isitya asinazo izibi ezibonakalayo, amagqabi, okanye inkunkuma? Ngaba amanzi ahamba ngokukhululekileyo nangokucacileyo?

Indawo: Kuphephe imithombo yamanzi ekufutshane neengozi ezibonakalayo (njengokubaleka kwenja ngaphandle kokukhupha amanzi aneleyo, ukulahla inkunkuma eninzi, okanye amanzi angamiyo).

Umthetho othi “Yiyeke Ihambe”: Ngaphambi kokuba usele okanye uzalise ibhotile yakho, vumela amanzi aphume imizuzwana emi-5 ukuya kweli-10. Oku kukhupha nawaphi na amanzi asenokuba ebehleli engashukumi kwisixhobo ngokwaso.

Isihluzi sebhotile > Ukusela ngqo (Xa kunokwenzeka): Ukusebenzisa i-spout yebhotile eyenzelwe wena yeyona ndlela icocekileyo, kususa ukudibana komlomo nesixhobo. Soloko uphethe ibhotile enokusetyenziswa kwakhona!

Nciphisa Ukuthintana: Sebenzisa izinzwa ezingachukumisiyo ukuba zikhona. Ukuba kufuneka ucinezele iqhosha, sebenzisa inqindi okanye ingqiniba yakho, hayi incam yomnwe wakho. Kuphephe ukuchukumisa umlomo ngokwawo.

Musa "ukurhawuzelela" okanye ukubeka umlomo wakho empumlweni: Phakamisa umlomo wakho kancinci ngaphezu komsinga. Fundisa abantwana ukuba benze okufanayo.

Kwizilwanyana zasekhaya? Sebenzisa imithombo yezilwanyana zasekhaya ekhethiweyo ukuba ikhona. Musa ukuvumela izinja zisele ngqo kwimithombo yabantu.

Xela Iingxaki: Ubona umthombo oqhekekileyo, ongcolileyo, okanye okrokrisayo? Xela kwigunya elinoxanduva (isithili sepaki, iholo yesixeko, izibonelelo zesikolo). Nceda uzigcine zisebenza!

Ubusazi?

Iiapps ezininzi ezidumileyo ezifana neTap (findtapwater.org), Refill (refill.org.uk), kwaneeMephu zikaGoogle (khangela “imithombo yamanzi” okanye “isikhululo sokugcwalisa iibhotile”) zinokukunceda ufumane imithombo kawonke-wonke ekufutshane!

Amaqela axhasayo afana ne-Drinking Water Alliance axhasa ukufakwa nokugcinwa kwemithombo yokusela kawonke-wonke.

Intsomi Yamanzi Abandayo: Nangona amanzi abandayo elungile, akakhuselekanga ngokwemvelo. Ukhuseleko luvela kumthombo wamanzi nakwinkqubo.

Ikamva le-Public Hydration: Refill Revolution!

Intshukumo iyanda:

Iinkqubo "zokugcwalisa kwakhona": Amashishini (iikhefi, iivenkile) abonisa izitikha ezamkela abantu abadlulayo ukuba bazalise iibhotile simahla.

Imiyalelo: Ezinye izixeko/amazwe ngoku zifuna izixhobo zokugcwalisa iibhotile kwizakhiwo ezintsha zikawonke-wonke nakwiipaki.

Uyilo olutsha: Iiyunithi ezisebenza ngamandla elanga, izixhobo zokujonga umgangatho wamanzi ezidityanisiweyo, kwanemithombo yolwazi eyongeza ii-electrolytes? Amathuba anomdla.

Eyona nto ibalulekileyo: Phakamisa iGlasi (okanye iBhotile) eMthonjeni!

Imithombo yokusela kawonke-wonke ayisiyonto nje yesinyithi namanzi; zizimpawu zempilo kawonke-wonke, ubulungisa, uzinzo, kunye nokhathalelo loluntu. Ngokukhetha ukuyisebenzisa (ngengqondo!), ukukhuthaza ukugcinwa kwayo nokufakwa kwayo, kunye nokuhlala siphethe ibhotile ephinda isetyenziswe, sixhasa iplanethi enempilo kunye noluntu olunobulungisa ngakumbi.
