March 22nd we celebrate natural drinking water

Water is a prerequisite for life, and there is good reason why drinking water has its own UN theme day – March 22. It marks LAGUR every year, and every day of the year, our chemical-free water treatment directly the UN Sustainable Development Goals when it comes to clean water and sanitation, responsible consumption and life in the oceans.

Water Day

On March 22nd, we raise our glasses and toast to natural drinking water from the tap. That day is World Water Day all over the world.

World Water Day is the UN's annual theme day, which every year on March 22nd focuses on drinking water and the importance of people around the world having access to drinking water. Unfortunately, few people are as lucky as Danes to be able to drink clean water from the tap.

IN LAGUR Every year we mark World Water Day, because clean, natural water is what our entire company is about. We and our chemical-free water treatment solution is created to help individuals and businesses get rid of limescale problems – without changing the natural composition of the water.

WATER DAY SINCE 1993

The first World Water Day was held on March 22, 1993. World Water Day was introduced at the initiative of the UN, which launched the idea in connection with its conference on environment and development in Rio de Janeiro in 1992.

The Rio conference focused on sustainable development, and many of the norms and recommendations that form the basis for the entire globe's continued work on sustainability in many different areas date back to that time.

LAGUR SUPPORTS THE UN'S GLOBAL GOALS

Water is one of many focus areas in the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, but perhaps the most important, because on a planet without water, our fight against poverty, hunger and inequality will be in vain.

With our chemical-free water treatment plant supports LAGUR directly three of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. These are Clean Water and Sanitation ( SDG 6 ), Responsible Consumption and Production ( SDG 12 ) and Life in the Ocean (SDG 14 ).

CLEAN WATER IS NOT A FOREGOING

Danes are privileged because we can turn on the water and drink from the tap without worry. In many other places in the world, however, the water is contaminated with chemicals and bacteria.

IN LAGUR We work to ensure that healthy Danish tap water maintains its status and quality as an easily accessible, top-class food product that benefits everyone's health. That's why our water treatment plant neither on the water's chemistry, the water's taste nor the water's content of limescale and minerals.

CHEAP TO RUN AND NO WASTEWATER

LAGOURS water treatment plant contributes to the global goal of responsible consumption and production by being cheap to operate. The system for large properties uses approx. 1 kW per day, equivalent to approximately 2.50 kroner, while our system for detached houses uses less than 300W per day. This corresponds to approx. 75 øre per day.

Unlike conventional water softening plants LAGUR not wastewater, and how common water softening plants requires the addition of large amounts of salt, uses LAGUR no salt or other chemicals in the process.

LIFE IN THE SEAS

When it comes to life in the oceans, animals and plants can be harmed by both pollution and so-called acidification. Acidification is caused by the fact that industrialization and human emissions of CO2 have caused the pH value in the oceans to fall, because the ocean water absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere, and for many organisms in the ocean, life is linked to narrow pH ranges.

With its low power consumption and the absence of salts and chemicals, it minimizes LAGUR the carbon footprint that consumers make when they want a home without limescale problems . LAGUR also uses less water and does not discharge wastewater with chemical residues – benefiting the global water cycle and life in the world's oceans.

BOWL IN A GLASS OF WATER – FROM THE TAP!

In short: I LAGUR We think there are many good reasons to have World Water Day and use March 22nd every year to highlight how important drinking water is to the planet and what we can do to take better care of it.
