Gardeners have green thumbs and know how important the right amount of water is to growing healthy plants. Water shapes and nourishes life on Earth. Our existence on this planet depends on clean secure sources of fresh water. With the growth of human population, demand for fresh water is outstripping supply in many parts of the world. It is estimated that 70% of all fresh water is used for agricultural purposes; so we can understand how vital water is for our survival.
Here in the Great Lakes the freshwater systems also have aesthetic and recreational values. We have boating, fishing and tourism which are all vital parts of the economy of our state. To preserve and protect these waters we must use water wisely, because this will be our legacy for our children and grandchildren.
We have a challenge to conserve water. There are many good reasons why we should. Conserving water lessens the damaging effects of droughts that affect our southern states. Drought can decrease our food supply and thus raise prices, increase fire hazards, and cause soil erosion. We, in the U.S.A., use more water per person than in any other country. It is believed that our southwestern states will suffer severe water shortages as early as 2025.
We should aim to conserve water to help the environment. Remembering to conserve throughout your daily routine will soon become a habit you will not even think about.
For every month on this website we have a tip on how to conserve water If you only remember some of these, you are helping to protect our water supplies, the Great Lakes, and this planet.
