Water conservation is important because while water is constantly recycled through the earth's water cycle, people use fresh water faster than it can be naturally replenished. Some simple ways to conserve water include running dishwashers and washing machines only when full, upgrading appliances that use water for cooling, adjusting sprinklers to avoid watering non-grass areas, and watering lawns in mornings or evenings to reduce evaporation.

2. What is Water Conservation?
Water conservation is a practice in which people,
companies, and governments attempt to reduce
their water usage.

3. Why Conserve Water?
Water is essential to life on
earth. We need water to grow
food, keep clean, provide
power, control fire, and most
importantly, we need it to stay
alive!

4. If water is constantly being cleaned and
recycled through the earth’s water cycle,
why do we need to conserve it?
The answer is that people use
up our planet’s fresh water
faster than it can naturally be
replenished.

5. Simple Ways To Conserve Water
• When washing dishes by hand, don't let the water run
while rinsing. Fill one sink with wash water and the
other with rinse water.
• Run your washing machine and dishwasher only when
they are full. You can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.

6. Simple Ways To Conserve Water
• Some refrigerators, air
conditioners and ice-makers are
cooled with wasted flows of
water. Consider upgrading with
air-cooled appliances for
significant water savings.
• Adjust sprinklers so only your
lawn is watered and not the
house, sidewalk, or street.

7. Simple Ways To Conserve Water
• Water your lawn and garden in the morning or evening
when temperatures are cooler to minimize evaporation.
• Wash your fruits and vegetables in a pan of water
instead of running water from the tap.
