App Acqua Check - Maristanis

    Some studies indicate that Italian hotels consume between 500 and 650 litres of water per presence, more than twice as much as the civil sector.

    Tourism can therefore have a significant impact on water resources, especially in the coastal areas of the Mediterranean regions, where water resources have always been scarce due to recurrent periods of drought and are now at risk from the consequences of climate change.

    In Sardinia, in tourist areas, the population increases fivefold in summer, but water resources remain unchanged and are collected in artificial reservoirs in winter and spring. The climate change, however, makes rainfall uncertain and the risk of having to suffer restrictions on water supply is high, with considerable inconvenience both for the population and for agriculture and tourists.

    In these cases, the use of groundwater is increasing, with an increase in groundwater salinisation, a widespread and worrying phenomenon. It is mainly the bodies of water, including coastal wetlands, which are not receiving sufficient supplies from either surface or groundwater.

    We must all therefore become more virtuous.

    Acqua Check is an app that allows facility managers to assess the benefits of investing in water-saving equipment and devices.

    Acqua Check needs some information about the appliances and devices that use water in your facility to calculate how much you could save if you used less water.

    Acqua Check can tell you how much it costs you and how much time you recoup your investment and how much water and money you save.

    This application was developed by the MEDSEA Foundation as part of the MARISTANIS Project, co-funded by the MAVA Foundation, dedicated to the protection and sustainable development of the Oristano wetlands, which are recognized as areas of international environmental value and are protected by the Ramsar Convention.

    This App, together with the App Save Water - Maristanis, is the toolkit for the reduction of water consumption in tourism. If you are a tourist facility, please contact us to have the informative material on the App.
