Conserving Our Most Precious Resource

While Earth seems covered in water, only a tiny fraction is accessible freshwater. Climate change, population growth, and pollution put increasing strain on these resources.

Reasons to Conserve:

• Environmental Protection: Reduces strain on rivers, lakes, and groundwater, protecting aquatic ecosystems.
• Energy Savings: Cleaning and transporting water requires significant energy, often from fossil fuels. Saving water saves energy.
• Cost Savings: Reduces water and energy bills.
• Drought Mitigation: Conserves supplies during dry periods.

Simple Ways to Save Water:

• Fix leaks promptly.
• Install water-efficient toilets, showerheads, and taps.
• Take shorter showers.
• Only run full loads in washing machines and dishwashers.
• Collect rainwater for garden use.
• Choose drought-tolerant plants.
