Every single day, we in Germany consume almost 130 liters of drinking water per person. Isn't that crazy? That adds up to a lot over the year, approx.
47,450 liters, an incredible figure.
If we then look at the amount of water needed to produce consumer goods, food and clothing per person per day, the figure sounds more than just enormous ... 7200 liters of water per day.
That's why we should all try to minimize our water consumption. Because even small amounts that we can save each day have a very positive effect over the year. Whether we are washing our hands, washing dishes or showering, there are plenty of ways to save water. The garden is another area where you can save water.
For example, by installing a rain barrel, we can water our flowers with rainwater if necessary instead of using tap water.
Another useful garden tool is a rain gauge, which shows you how much it has rained. Based on this result, you can then decide whether and how much you need to water. Forena offers you a particularly sustainable option here, with the first rain gauge made of silicone. Silicone is dimensionally stable, sustainable and recyclable, can remain outdoors all year round and is therefore a good companion in the garden and on the way to saving water and money.
