Water is essential to all life - no living thing can survive without it. Though oceans cover two-thirds of our planet, fresh water makes up only 3% of the water on Earth’s surface. And while the average American uses 151 gallons a day, billions of people around the world don’t have safe drinking water. Scarcity also threatens wildlife and ecosystems that depend on fresh and clean water sources.

Becoming more aware of our water usage and developing better conservation habits, we can help ensure that there will be enough water for all life on Earth.
