Water is in every living thing. Our body is nearly 65% water.

An ear of corn is nearly 70% water, a potato is about 80%, and a tomato is about 95%.

In order for living things to carry out life processes, we must keep our water supply clean and healthy. We can live without food for two months, but we cannot live without water for more than a week.

Why Is Water Important?

Life is not possible without water!

What do we use it for?

How Much Do We Have?

Page 5: Sustainable Water November 28 & 29, 2012. Water is in every living thing. Our body is nearly 65% water. An ear of corn is nearly 70% water, a potato is.

70% of the earth is water

97% is in the oceans

The fresh water available for us to use is about 3% of the earth's water

supply.

Three-fourths of the fresh water is unavailable because it is in icecaps

and other glaciers.

Let's look at the numbers!

Americans use more than 400 billion gallons of water in one day, more

than our total oil consumption in one year!

More Numbers...

Every day 5,000 children die from diseases associated with inadequate

water supply, sanitation and hygiene. All of which are preventable

DO WE HAVE ENOUGH?Yes, we do!

But... We need to use it more wisely!

Sustainability means providing an adequate and reliable water supply of desired quality

– now and for future generations – in a manner that integrates economic growth,

environmental protection and social development.

• How are humans affecting the Hydrological System, and contributing to the depletion of fresh water? List 4 things.  

• What can we do to change what is happening to our fresh water supply?

• If this continues, what do you think will happen?

• 1. What are humans doing to affect the hydrological system, and how is it affecting the depletion of the freshwater supply? List 4 things.

• 2. What can we do to change what is happening to our water supply?

• 3. If we continue to use the water the way we are currently, what do you think will happen?
