Sustainable Tourism through the Protection of Sweet Water Resources in Mountain Area

Abstract

The evolution of tourism requires modern living standards with a negative impact on the consumption of sweet water. In this context, the article aims to analyse the possibilities to reduce sweet water consumption by implementing solutions for exploiting rainwater in a mountain lodge with a height P + 1. From the results of simulations performed on the monthly consumption of potable water, based on the amount of rainwater that would have been possible to be collected in the years 2014 - 2015, it is found economies to approximately 61000 liters of sweet water, obtainable by using rainwater in some hygienic-sanitary activities.
