Only 1 percent of earth's water is usable freshwater. 

We are not nearly as careful as we should be with this vital resource. 

With 1.1 billion people worldwide lacking access to clean, safe water and a total of 2.7 billion finding water scarce for at least one month of the year, it is alarming that so little is done to preserve and properly manage water wastage.

Many of the water systems that keep ecosystems thriving and feed a growing human population have become stressed. Rivers, lakes and aquifers are drying up or becoming too polluted to use. More than half the world’s wetlands have disappeared.

At the current consumption rate, this situation will only get worse. By 2025, two-thirds of the world’s population may face water shortages.

Showering:

A full bathtub requires up to 250 litres of water, so showers are the more water-efficient way to bathe. However, showering still uses a lot of water.

Washing Clothes:

Every time you throw your clothes in the washing machine, you use nearly 200 litres of water.

Brushing Teeth:

Letting the tap run when you brush your teeth wastes up to 15 gallons of water every time.
