In the United States of America people waste a lot of water for silly things. An average american family uses about 400 gallons of water everyday! You use 8 gallons to bath. You also use 20 gallons for the dishwasher. You drink 8oz. per cup. Thats alot of water! In California, 50% of thw water is environmentally used, 40% of the water is from agriculture, and the remaining is 10% is urban.

While washing your pet, you should take him/her over to an area where there are dead bushes and grass. It will do a 2 in 1 job for you, water plants, and wash your pet.
Appliances
When you are buying new appliances, consider buying ones that offer load size adjustments because those are much more water efficient and can save you a fortune in the long run.
Plants
Whenever you drop an ice cube on the floor, instead of dropping it in the sink, you should put the ice cube in a household plant.
Washing Your Hands
You should always wash your hands whenever you touch something dirty. You should also not put the water to high and turn off the water when you aren't using it. If you don't wash yourr hands, you cpuld get very sick.
Water Distribution
In the whole entire world, we can only use 1% of the water. The rest is frozen or saltwater( which we can't drink). People worry about the water because we are running out of water quickly. The water source is being limited. We also are having water droughts and the climate is changing quickly. we cna only get usabel water from mountains and rain.
