Water Conservation

Water is a renewable, natural resource that continually moves through the environment in the water cycle.


If all the world's water could be placed in a 26 gallon container, then about 3 quarts, or 3% would be fresh water, 1/2 quart, or 0.5% would be available fresh water, and 1/2 teaspoon, or 0.003% would be fresh water available for human use.
