Water is Life
How important
is water?
Why do we need to
conserve it and how does
conservation benefit us?
Our bodies don’t work without
it. Our crops don’t grow. Our
gardens don’t bloom. Our fish
don’t swim. Our pets don't
thrive. Our industries and
communities can’t grow and
expand. In
fact, just about everything we
do in our daily lives --
directly or indirectly-- depends
upon water.
The earth is largely covered
by water. But the truth is, only
about 2% of that water is
drinkable. And, with a
constantly growing population,
that small amount of water is being shared
by more and more people, as well
as having to supply
all of the water needed for agriculture,
manufacturing, power generation,
our cities and neighborhoods,
too.
We have taken our precious
water supplies for granted...for
too long. Now, water --
quantity and quality -- is a
global issue. That's why
we have to learn to be better
stewards of this finite
resource...and learn to make
informed decisions about how we
use it.
Every time we turn on the
faucet...we need to ask
ourselves, "Is it worth the
water?"
