Participants of the Erasmus + project “Drop of water – reflection of cultures” analysed reasons and consequences of  climate change, indirect use of terrestrial water, discussed why groundwater does not fill wells, why lakes and rivers have depleted, and looked for ways to save water at home, also prepared water saving and responsible use of water recommendations and introduced them to the inhabitants of  Krokialaukis village. They distributed leaflets to the population of the village, also sticked posters in public places, shops, gymnasium.

The  survey showed that data provided by participants and recommendations have done impact on the inhabitants of the village. Residents claim that they have become more responsible with water and started to save it.  They do not need to limit their basic needs, but they have learned to make small changes in  behavior to achieve a big reduction in water consumption :  allow water from the tap with lower current,turn off the tap while brushing teeth or soaping hands,  after washing fruit and vegetables use the water  for watering flowers, etc.
