There are no doubts that water is a limited resource. Water cannot be replaced with anything else and therefore it is unique. In order to sustain life, human body needs 2-3 liters of water per day. However, the average resident of Ukrainian municipality uses 330 liters of water from the system of centralized water supply per day. It is twice as much as in European countries. To raise awareness on the rational treatment of water resources information campaigns will be held in 11 municipalities in context of the Project "Every Drop Matters".
