"Every Action Counts," the national campaign to save water

On the eve of the summer, when the available water resources are low and the country has already faced droughts, the government is launching a campaign to raise awareness about water conservation. It is part of the action plan for resilient and collaborative water management, presented in March 2023.

This plan, which proposes 53 measures, aims in particular to “improve the response to drought crises”, through 3 axes:

• organize the sobriety of uses for all actors;
• Maximize resource availability
• to preserve water quality.

The awareness campaign launched by the government is part of this plan and is aimed at all those who can participate in sobriety: individuals, communities, farmers, industrialists.

It puts forward 6 simple gestures to be adopted by all on a daily basis to reduce water consumption:

• settle a froth on the taps and a lean shower head;
• regularly check its water meter and repair leaks;
• take a shower (4-5 minutes) and avoid bathing;
• settle a rainwater collector to water the gardens;
• settle a drip to water the plants to minimize evaporation;
• maintain gardens with as little water as possible: put on plants that are water-efficient and drought-resistant.
