Our Daily Impact on Water Cycle and Ways for Managing It
Each and every one of us, human beings, has a great impact on the water cycle, including myself.
Every day I use resources and have a major impact in into this cycle. We often use resources without
thinking much about it. We simply take it as normal to us, that enough of these resources are
available for the people. Water is just always available for us. At every other day that I take a shower,
take a bath, cook or just go swimming in a sea I have an important influence on our water cycle.
Water which I use comes from our community water supply system.
This water has been treated and purified to get rid of bacteria and so on. This water is from reservoirs
filled by the rain and ground water. It does cost much work to bring the water into my home. The used
and dirty water from my home goes back into this cycle after a recycling process.
Factories and industries that surrounds us such as manufacturing, processing or any other, water is a
key necessity. Not only is it used in the process but also in other forms. The pollution from this
production has also impacted the water cycle. Also, pollution of, for example, industries and traffic
make the rain acid. The acid rain falls and in turn kills a lot of flora and fauna. Also, the groundwater
could be polluted from chemicals and other toxins if I do not care about how I dispose of
contaminated water and chemicals. So, every time I use a product created from plastics or produced
with water, I have also a major impact on our water cycle. If I don’t take care about of our environment
and for example don’t recycle waste then definitely I will be impacting negatively on the environment.
I consume a lot of electricity in my home, every day. Electricity requires to a whole part, fossil fuels for
producing in power stations. There is also an impact on the water cycle – the stations that use coal for
example. There is an impact to the cycle because coal is mined in crafts. My life will definitely change
significantly if I try to reduce my impacts on the environment because I will have to give up on my
comfort. This might include not using most of the stuff that has a huge impact on water resources in
the process of production. Doing this can be a great challenge for me. It is not that easy to find a wise
way of conserving environment next to my personal lifestyle. To conserve water then my lifestyle has
to change, this would include using water sparingly and having to not take long bathing sessions in
the name of conserving water. Also, my personal budget is an essential factor in environmentally
conscious thinking. But, if we all don’t take care of our environment, we will definitely get negative
results, such global warming (which is here with us), toxic water and so on. So, we should find a
middle ground in order to deal with this.
In conclusion, yes, it is possible to change my current lifestyle to reduce the impact to our water cycle.
I can take a shower instead of taking a bath to reduce the amount of water I use for my personal
hygiene. I can try to reduce the amounts of used while washing utensils, I could do this by using
collected water in a sink instead of having a running tap. I can use also ride to work on a bicycle to
reduce my carbon footprint.
A big impact to the water cycle has the energy consumption of my electronic devices and light bulbs,
which is easy to reduce. I easily can reduce the amount of consumed energy in my home by installing
energy saving bulbs or LED lamps to reduce the amount of energy used in my home. Switching off
devices that I am not using at that particular time. I know all this is not easy to do in a single go, but
by giving myself a timeline can make it much easier to fix this mess. This will in turn help to control
