Why Conserve Water?

Over 70% of our planet is water, so why do we need to consider water conservation? For drinking, growing crops and feeding livestock, not just any water will do. We need clean, unpolluted water. Scientists estimate that humans will run into a water shortage by 2080 if we do not conserve now.

Reasons to conserve:

• It takes energy to clean and transport water, so conserving water means saving energy.
• Reducing what we use keeps water where it's needed: in wetland and aquatic ecosystems.
• Saving water, saves you money - especially if you have a water meter.

On average, each person uses 140L of water per day.
