TEXT II - WATER RATIONING IN
BRAZIL
According to the Folha de São Paulo,
due to lack of rain, water rationing is already
a reality in at least 142 cities in Brazil, where
about 6 million inhabitants and 11 states
reported difficulties. São Paulo, Alagoas,
Ceará, Pernambuco, Bahia and Brasília face
water rotation, while 410 thousand people in
Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco
and Piauí face a situation collapsed. In Itu
(São Paulo), for example, there are people
who spend their days without water. In the
central region, there is only water supply of
05:00pm from 06:00 am. In the suburbs, as
Pirapitingui, people only receive water
between late afternoon and early morning
and only once every three days.
and after a two-hour period when no water is
being used. If the meter does not read
exactly the same, there is a leak.
3. Take shorter showers
One way to cut down on water use is to
turn off the shower before soaping up, then
turn it back on to rinse. A four-minute shower
uses approximately 20 to 40 gallons of water.
4. Turn off the water after you wet your
toothbrush
There is no need to keep the water
running while you are brushing your teeth.
Just wet your brush and fill a glass for mouth
rinsing.
