CCHU9001 S3 In-class Activity_ Task 3 by Mathew Pryor https://padlet.com/hkufoa/26yakgy7bku5pd46 Designs on the Future en-us 2023-02-06 07:57:44 UTC 2023-02-08 08:03:15 UTC hello@padlet.com Water - foundation of HK’s history. hkufoa https://padlet.com/hkufoa/26yakgy7bku5pd46/wish/2469678843 Given that we are only 25% self sufficient in water – we need to do something radical.  We cannot increase supply significantly (nb. desalination is unrealistic), and rationing is not a long-term solution ….. so:

How could we dramatically reduce water demand, say by 50%?

2.Reducing subsidies for water: Currently, the government provides subsidies for water to households and businesses, which reduces the financial incentive for conservation. By reducing or eliminating these subsidies, the cost of water would increase, encouraging households and businesses to use less water.

3.Encourage xeriscaping: Encourage the use of drought-resistant plants in landscaping and public spaces, reducing the need for irrigation.

4.Promote rainwater harvesting: Encourage households and businesses to collect and store rainwater for non-potable purposes.
