Water Conservation

Only 2% of Earth's water is fresh and 54% of that 2% is polluted. Use your water wisely to make it last!

5 TIPS TO CONSERVE WATER:1) Take shorter showers.2) Turn off the faucet when brushing your teeth.3) Don't dump your trash in lakes or rivers! Take it to a recycler.4) Clean all your trash up when partying! It might just get washed into a lake or river!5) Don't fertilize your lawn! Use Xeriscaping (Use Native Plants instead of fine grass that needs watered)

Humans are quickly wearing away the limited water supply on Earth. The average person uses 80-100 gallons of water per day! Now, multiply that by the billions of people on Earth PLUS the animals!

Roughly 400 billion gallons of water are used in the U.S PER DAY! The average pool only has 22,000 gallons of water! Think of how many pools you could fill!

An average household of 4 people uses about 200 gallons of water per day! But, 8% of that is wasted. 16 gallons!

What is the Soil ' Water Conservation District?Between 1943 and 1962 Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) were formed in each county as a state mandate throughout Ohio for the purpose of assessing and assisting with Conservation efforts. It was in November of 1943 that Carroll County citizens sought to petition the Ohio Soil Conservation Committee to set up a district here in Carrollton. After an assessment of the needs in Carroll County, on March 16th, 1944 Carroll County Soil and Water Conservation District was approved and opened.-Website of the Soil and Water Conservation District, Carroll County OH.

This is a picture of what a water filter might look like. It filters the water lots ofn times then the water gets sent to a different part of the building. When there, it is tested for hours and has multiple tests before it can be taken to a house.
