Save Water
Nas nossas atividades diárias, desperdiçamos muita água. Na casa de banho, por exemplo, enquanto esperamos que saia água quente, é frequente manter a torneira aberta, deixando água limpa ir pelo cano abaixo, misturando-se com águas residuais.
Uma torneira aberta desperdiça, por minuto, 12 litros de água, que pode ser aproveitada para outros fins como lavar o chão ou regar plantas.
Porque a ação de cada um conta, é fundamental alterar hábitos, usando a água sem a desperdiçar.
We waste too much water in our daily tasks. In the bathroom, and while waiting for hot water, it’s usual to leave the tap open, allowing clean water to go down the pipe and directly mixing with grey one.
An open tap wastes 12 water liters per minute, which can be used to wash the floor or water the plants.
Since the actions of each and every one of us matters, it’s crucial to change our habits, using WATER without wasting it.

Mothers-of-water saved, give life to Seven Fountains Park
In the fountain area of Braga city, you can easily see restored granite structures from the 18th century, called mothers-of-water. The mothers-of-water are the entrance door to the treasure hidden underground. The water in the subsoil of this area was the reason for civil movements for the creation of the ecomumental park of the seven fountains.
