Water is the founda\u00adtion of all life on Earth\u2026<\/h2>\n

\u2026 and an indis\u00adpensable resource for humans, animals and plants. Without water, we could not exist, because our bodies are made up of more than half water, which serves as a building material for cells and as a trans\u00adport medium for nutri\u00adents and waste products. Water regulates our body tempe\u00adra\u00adture, supports diges\u00adtion and is important for many vital processes such as the produc\u00adtion of oxygen by plants.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When it comes to water requi\u00adre\u00adments, the follo\u00adwing catego\u00adries are distin\u00adgu\u00adished:<\/p>\n

Drinking water requi\u00adre\u00adment<\/h3>\n

On average, we drink about 2 to 3 litres of water daily, because our body constantly needs water to maintain vital functions. Water is essen\u00adtial for our health. This gives us a direct drinking water requi\u00adre\u00adment of around 1,000 litres per year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Direct water requi\u00adre\u00adment<\/h3>\n

Direct water demand comprises exclu\u00adsi\u00advely the water used directly from the tap. This includes drinking water use as well as all domestic activi\u00adties such as bathing, cooking, cleaning. The largest share is for personal hygiene. This value is appro\u00adxi\u00adm\u00adately 126 litres per day<\/strong><\/a> and corre\u00adsponds to about 46,000 litres per year per person.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Water footprint: indirect water requi\u00adre\u00adment<\/h3>\n

Indirect water demand refers to \u201evirtual water\u201c needed to produce all consumed products, such as food, clothing, electro\u00adnics and other goods. This also includes the water consumed in the produc\u00adtion of imported goods. Indirect water consump\u00adtion per person is 7,200 litres per day<\/a>h<\/strong>. 86 % of the indirect water needed for the produc\u00adtion of goods consumed in Germany is used abroad.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Despite its apparent abundance, fresh water makes up only a very small share of the water on Earth, and of that only a fraction is usable as drinking water. Globally, water is unevenly distri\u00adbuted, and through overuse, pollu\u00adtion and climate change this vital resource is incre\u00adasingly under threat. Water is there\u00adfore not only a basic substance of life, but also a valuable resource worthy of protec\u00adtion, and sustainable manage\u00adment of it is of utmost importance for the survival of all living beings.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
