Don't let it drip; it's the only water we have! Water conservation facts and simply solutions.
1. Don’t Let it Drip, It’s the only water
we have!
Less than 2% of the Earth’s
water supply is fresh water.
Only 1% of the earth's water is
available for drinking water.
1/3 of all water is used to flush the
toilet.
A 10 minute shower uses between
5070 gallons of water.
If you water you grass and trees more heavily, but less often, this
saves water and builds stronger roots.
Don’t leave the water running when brushing your teeth or shaving.
Get in the habit of turning off the water when it’s not being used.
An automatic dishwater uses 9 to 12 gallons of water while hand
washing dishes can use up to 20 gallons; but run your dishwasher
and washing machine only when they are full. Allison Mapoy
