Water is our most precious resource

Although water makes up 80% of the Earth's surface, Less than 1% of it is fresh water. The rest is salty, frozen or in the atmosphere

Surface water comes from lakes, streams, rivers and/or ponds

The average person in the United States uses about 50 gallons of water each day

Flushing the toilet uses 26% of the water used in a home

Humans can live about 1 week without water
