Water is essential to life on earth. We need water to grow food, keep clean, provide power, control fire, and last but not least, we need it to stay alive!

If water is constantly being cleaned and recycled through the earth’s water cycle, why do we need to conserve it? The answer is that people use up our planet’s fresh water faster than it can naturally be replenished.

To provide enough clean fresh water for people, water is cleaned at at drinking water treatment plants before it is used. And after water is used, it is cleaned again at waste-water treatment plants or by a septic system before being put back into the environment.

Saving water is good for the earth, your family, and your community.
