For Writing of the Adital

Brazil wastes per year water enough to supply 38 million people. In the capitals of the country, they are wasted, daily, 2,5 million liters of water. This indifference made with that, in the two first weeks of April, the São Paulo members of the house of representatives placed in guideline quarrels as the scarcity, high cost and abusive use of drinking waters.

In the last Wednesday (09), them parliamentarians, in an only session, had approved three projects on the subject. Now, to turn law, they need to be sancionados by the governor. One of the projects foresees fine of until R$ 1,488, 00 for the consumers who to waste drinking waters.

In the project, wastefulness is considered all use irrational of the water as laudering of sidewalk, streets, vehicles, irrigation of gardens and lawns with the hose job and machines of pressure the spurt. First who to disrespect the norm will be warned, backsliding is that it will have the fine.

Another approved project, compels to the companies who work with ways of transport, and laudering of vehicles, to install equipment of treatment and reutilização of the used water. The author of the project, the member of the house of representatives Andres Soares, said that in up to 15 months the proprietors they will have financial return, therefore will have reduction of the water consumption in 30%. Moreover, it will not have fall in the quality of the service.

In the third project, it is foreseen the creation of a State Program of Conservation and Rational Use of the Water in the Public and Private Constructions (Purae), in which the State has up to 10 years to adjust all the public building with devices that allow water economy.

Thus, she will be necessary to change sanitary basins, chuveiros and lavatórios for models of reduced volume of discharge, beyond being installed taps with arejadores. The São Paulo government must be committed still has to stimulate the people to provide the installation of reservoirs for containment of the water used in chuveiros, bathtubs, lavatórios, sinks etc.

A população brasileira, por considerar que o país tem muita reserva de água, desperdiça-a bastante; however, six billion wasted liters in the country are played outside enter the withdrawal of the sources and the arrival to the taps. According to Socioambiental Institute (ISA), in Porto Velho (Rondônia), 78.8% of the water is wasted. In Rio Branco, Manaus and Belém, this index also is superior 70%.

In accordance with the Institute, water play is in these capitals would be enough to supply five million inhabitants almost. To diminish wastefulness, it must be increased the investments in the nets and be taken care of the notifications of emptyings quickly.

The average water consumption in the Brazilian homes is 40 liters above of the recommended one for the Organization of United Nations (ONU) for person, who is of 110 liters. The cities of São Paulo, Rio De Janeiro and Vitória surpass this number still more and arrive at the population average of 220 liters.
