Saving Water

Energy is not the only thing you should conserve. Water is limited. Just 1 percent of Earth’s water can be used by people. The rest is saltwater or frozen.

Plants, animals, and people need to drink water. Without water, your body stops working. People can only live a few days without it.

People use water for drinking and cooking. We also use it for washing and cleaning. A U.S. family of four uses about 400 gallons (1,514 liters) of water each day. That’s enough to fill 10 bathtubs!

Cities use water to fight fires and clean streets. Businesses and factories use water too. Restaurants need water to cook and wash dishes. Farms use lots of water to grow food. Water is even used to make electricity.
