Even During Drought Conditions, Georgians are Unconcerned About Water
Survey shows many Georgians unaware of multimillion-dollar water leaks
(firmenpresse) - SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/24/16 -- Georgia''s water infrastructure loses millions of gallons of water every year but it would seem the majority of Georgians are unconcerned about pouring dollars down the drain, according to a recent statewide survey conducted by .
With severe drought conditions currently affecting several counties across Georgia, the survey''s results reveal a lack of public awareness of the state''s aging water infrastructure and resulting water loss which amounts to nearly 78,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools every year. The majority of Georgia residents polled are either unaware or unconcerned about their state''s severe water loss and say they are largely unwilling to pay more money to prevent water wastage.
Key Findings of the Survey:
Georgians do not have water loss on their minds:
"Unfortunately, there is a lack of public awareness relating to water loss not only in Georgia, but across the country," says Hubert Colas, President of FluksAqua Americas. "Georgia has a naturally abundant water supply, however rains that replenish the system do not fall equally across the state and growing population in major centers is taxing the system. The state and water utilities must be proactive in educating its public on the realities of water shortage in their regions."
Additional Findings of the Survey:
"People forget that water is a natural resource and - like all natural resources - will run out if we abuse it," insists Colas. "The issue of water leakage can no longer be ignored."
About the Survey:
The Google survey polled the general population of Georgia, USA on the Google Consumer Surveys publisher network. The online survey was conducted on July 21, 2016.
