That's why it's so important to use water wisely.

Water is a big part of our everyday lives. We use water: at home -- for drinking, bathing, cooking and cleaning at work -- for example, to help manufacture goods and to provide power, heating and cooling at play -- for swimming, fishing, boating and gardening.

	There are many benefits to using water wisely. When you save water, you also: save money save energy help protect the environment.
Careful water use today may be the only way to avoid severe shortages in the future!
