Conservation : wise use of resources
• Ex : use less energy by turning off light
Stewardship : managing resources
• Ex : plant trees or clean up a habitat

3. How can we preserve water
resources
with water
stewardship
By conserving
water

4. We can
conserve
water by
Use low flow
toilets and
take short
showers
Reduce
water
usage
Use plants
that don’t
need much
water

5. Keep pollution from
entering streams ,
lakes , and other water
sources
Limit the types of
