The article "Water and the unfulfilled promises" (May 12) raises several issues. First of all, it is a shame that one of the richest countries in the world faces these problems without solving them permanently. Is it a matter of management? On the other hand, the use of water is extremely inexpensive in Saudi Arabia and as a result people do not reuse water or use it efficiently. Why save water when it is so cheap? The public needs to learn to reuse water and to keep clean water only for drinking and food preparation. Barthol, Online response Water usage in dishwashers and washing machines can be economized by using this equipment with a full load rather than just for one or two items. Likewise, I have witnessed that almost all car wash centers waste a lot of water. Certainly, water is life and a highly precious commodity. The Prophet (peace be upon him) taught us to conserve this blessing of Almighty Allah. Public awareness is essential. Ghazi Ozair, Online response
