Water Conservation Resources
 |
Water is a precious resource, and a resource we depend on for our life. Nearly 97% of the world's water is salty or otherwise undrinkable. Another 2% is locked in ice caps and glaciers. That leaves just 1% for all of humanity's needs -- all its agricultural, residential, manufacturing, community, and personal needs. Many factors can affect our water from population growth to drought conditions. To help sustain water quality and quantity, we should all participate in the reduction of water waste and water pollution.
