5 Reminders that Water is our World

Whether you let the sink run while brushing your teeth, take a long hot bath instead of a 5-minute shower, or let a small toilet leak go unfixed, you might think to yourself "No big deal."

The truth, however, is that these small situations add up to major water loss and it's a resource that our world truly relies on. Below are 5 eye opening facts that remind us just how valuable water really is.

1. Approximately 400 billion gallons of water are used in the US each day
2. The average American home uses over 100,000 gallons each year
3. You can save up to four gallons of water each morning by turning off the tap when brushing your teeth
4. A bath uses more than double the amount of water required for a shower
5. About 750 million people lack access to a safe and clean source of drinking water
