Hello everyone, I am Claude, and today I would like to address a crucial subject of capital importance for our future: the water situation in the world and the savings that will need to be made to preserve this resource. valuable, with emphasis on the situation in France.

Water is an essential resource for life on Earth. However, access to quality drinking water is far from guaranteed for everyone. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 2.2 billion people around the world do not have access to safely managed drinking water.

The situation is all the more worrying as fresh water resources are increasingly threatened by global warming, pollution and overexploitation. Climate change is increasing droughts, floods and salinization of groundwater, thereby affecting water availability and quality.

France, although less affected than other countries, faces significant challenges in terms of water management. The country must adapt its practices and put in place measures to prevent waste and pollution.

Water waste is a major problem in France. According to the Water Agency, each French person consumes on average 150 liters of water per day, a large part of which is wasted due to leaks, poor insulation or inappropriate consumption habits. It is therefore essential to raise awareness among citizens of the importance of reducing their water consumption and to encourage them to adopt simple and effective actions, such as:

• Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth or shaving
• Take showers instead of baths
• Reuse vegetable cooking water to water plants
• Install water-saving devices on faucets and showers

Water pollution is another problem that France must face. Human activities, particularly agriculture and industry, are responsible for the degradation of water quality.

To combat this scourge, measures must be taken to reduce pollution, in particular:

• Encourage more environmentally friendly agriculture, by limiting the use of pesticides and promoting agroecological practices
• Strengthen controls on industrial discharges and wastewater treatment plants
• Raise citizens' awareness of the importance of not throwing waste into rivers and canals

Preserving water is a major issue for the future of our planet and our country. It is everyone's responsibility to commit to reducing their water consumption and fighting pollution. Together, we can help preserve this essential resource for life and guarantee access to quality water for future generations.
