Using Water Conservatively
Using Water Conservatively
More than half of the world's major rivers are seriously depleted and polluted, according to the World Commission on Water for the 21st Century.
To counteract this problem we need drip irrigation. We also need to watch our water use. If everyone would take a tub bath in three gallons of water this would help. Many people use far more water than this. The average person takes a 10 minute shower, which is about 70 gallons -- 7 gallons per minute.
