Abstract | ||||
Natural resources provide the raw materials and energy needed for daily life and economic development. These resources include: (water, air, soil, minerals, plants, animals), in addition to energy sources such as: (sun, wind, fossil fuels). The pillars of sustainable development aim to preserve natural resources by achieving a balance in their use and meeting the needs of societies. Preserving the environment's ability to regenerate through smart resource management, reducing pollution, preserving biodiversity, and promoting innovation in many areas such as renewable energy and recycling. It also aims to ensure the survival of future generations and the continuation of economic development without harming the environment. The research problem lies in achieving a balance between the efficiency of using water and energy resources on the environmental impact, as the idea of regular car washes is based on the use of a large percentage of water and huge consumption of resources, but dry car washes need technologies that reduce water consumption and save resources while maintaining the quality of cleaning. The primary objective of this study is to examine the role of dry car washes in conserving the most important natural resources, namely water and energy, by achieving the following sub-objectives: Study the role of dry car washes in achieving efficient use of water resources. Study the role of dry car washes in conserving energy. Study the differences between dry car washes and conventional car washes in their consumption of natural resources | ||||
