Why We Need Water Sense?

Why we need WaterSense

Water is vital to the survival of everything on the planet and is limited in supply. The Earth might seem like it has abundant water, but in fact only 1 percent is available for human use. While the population and the demand on freshwater resources are increasing, supply remains constant.

Managing water is a growing concern in the United States. Communities across the country are starting to face challenges regarding water supply and water infrastructure. As the map below show, many of the states that have projected population growth increases also have higher per capita water use.

WaterSense will help protect the future of our nation’s water supply by promoting water efficiency and enhancing the market for water-efficient products, programs and practices.
