The Vital Role of Water

Planetary Blue

Although 71% of Earth's surface is covered by water...

Only 2.5%

is freshwater suitable for human use.

Global Crisis

Access to clean water is a major concern worldwide:

2.2 Billion

people lack access to safely managed drinking water.

Human Health

Water scarcity and unsanitary water conditions cause:

485,000 Deaths

each year from diarrheal diseases alone.

The Growing Water Crisis

The Global Water Challenge

Water scarcity affects more than 40% of the global population and is projected to rise. By 2025, it's estimated that 1.8 billion people will live in areas with absolute water scarcity.

Climate change is exacerbating the problem with altered weather patterns leading to droughts in some areas and flooding in others, damaging the quality and availability of freshwater supplies.

Many of the world's rivers no longer reach the ocean, having been tapped for agricultural, industrial, and municipal uses before they can reach their natural destinations.

Water Conservation Tips

1

Shorter Showers

Reducing your shower time by just 2 minutes can save over 1,000 gallons per person annually. Consider installing a low-flow showerhead for even greater efficiency.

2

Fix Leaks

Household leaks can waste nearly 1 trillion gallons annually nationwide. That's equal to the annual water use of 11 million homes. Check your fixtures regularly!

3

Wise Dishwashing

Run dishwashers only when full to maximize efficiency. If washing by hand, don't let the water run while scrubbing. Use a basin instead.

4

Water-Efficient Landscaping

Choose native, drought-resistant plants for your garden. Water early in the morning to reduce evaporation. Consider rain barrels to collect natural rainfall.
