Wate Conservation Practices
1. We can use plants that are drought free for the enviroment. For example, the plant can be a cactus.
2. We can also help the enviroment by buying low-flow shower heads to prevent using as much water as you normally wou. The shower head infuses water with air.
3. We can do laundry in only full loads.
4. We can also help by avoiding watering plants when it's windy.
5. Finally, we can use a broom instead of a hose when cleaning driveway or sidewalk.
Water Usage
1. The average Amerian person uses is 61 gallons per day.
2. They use toilet which can use up to 27%
3. They can use the clotheswasher, whch can use 22% of the water.
4. The shower water can use 17%.
5. The faucet can use 16% of the water/ gallons.
6. the leaks can use 14% of the wter.
7. Lastly, the ons I didn't list canuse up to 5%.
Water Conservation
1. Theusable water, or fresh water comes from rivers, lakes, and glaciers.
2. Only 3% of the water is fresh water.
3. The water is distributed, especially fresh water, even if there is only 3% of it.
4. Of the freshwaters, 69% is frozen in glaciers, which makes the earth have SO little fresh water that we can actually see not frozen.
5. Less than 1% of the freshwaters are located in rivers, lakes, and swamps.
6. 30% of the 3% of the fresh water is located UNDERGROUND!!! It makes it basically impossible to get a lot of freshwater.
7. The "salt" water takes up 97% of all water.
