Water Facts and Eco Actions

With oil, natural gas, and energy receiving most of the popular press, the often forgotten resource that presents a growing challenge is the availability of fresh water.  Consider these water facts:

• The United States uses more water in a day than it uses oil in a year.

• In four days, the United States uses more water than the world uses oil in a year.

• The U.S. leads the major nations of the world in per person water use--for all uses, from farming and livestock raising to generating electricity, the U.S. requires about 1,300 gallons of water per capita per day.

  Because water supply and demand are so tightly linked at a local level, communities are becoming increasingly aware of their water supply and actively managing demand.  The post, The Water/Energy Link, addresses how water and energy are intrinsically related; energy is needed to transport and deliver water while generating power requires massive quantities of water. There are opportunities to conserve both resources simultaneously.  In fact, the U.S. EPA has quantified the water/ energy savings opportunity: equating 1 gallon of water to approximately 4 watt hours of power.   What eco actions can we take to preserve water?  Our eco friendly training classes address the question with some eco actions to take.  Why?  Because habits with eco awareness lead to sustainable living and a healthier environment.
