In average, about 120 litres of mains water are used per day and person. Shrinking groundwater ressources result in rising prices for tap water.

Water is the basis of life and the earth. Not only for humans, but also for nature and the environment, water is very precious. It provides essential resources for plants, animals and the environment. The daily use of water in private households makes it clear how important running water is. The definition of service water is simple. Service water is water used in private, technical, commercial and agricultural activities for needs that do not require potable water quality. These are all applications where human consumption or body care is not involved. Service water is not the same as drinking water.
Plants need water to grow and stay healthy. But not all water is equally suitable for watering plants and gardens.
