Every day, five billion gallons of drinkable water is used to flush toilets in the U.S.
Thirty-six states are anticipating water shortages by 2016.
340 billion gallons of fresh water are pulled from rivers, streams and reservoirs every day in the U.S. and cleaned for residential, commercial and industrial uses. That's more than five gallons of water for every person in the world each day.
More than one billion people, or 1 out of every 6 people, lack access to a safe supply of drinking water. Diseases associated with the lack of clean water are leading cause of death in the world.
When tending your garden or patio, use mulch, plant drought-resistant and native plants, and be sure to water wisely. Mulch will help to reduce water evaporation, while planting native species will save water, since plants that are indigenous to your region won't need to be watered as much as others.
Don’t be a drip…install one! When it comes to watering individual trees, flowerbeds, potted containers, or other non-turf areas, consider applying water directly to the roots using low volume drip irrigation. This will reduce water waste through evaporation or runoff, and will prevent unwanted weeds from growing.
