name 2 reasons why we should conserve water?

We Answered:

Well, probably on reason it that California is going through a really bad drought. And yes, it's scorching hot here. And farmers that life in northern California are the most struck, and most of their water supplies have dried out. They have to use their local wells each time for water. You know how hard it is without a water supply?! And what about our food that's mostly from the farms? Pssh, whatever. I'm just guessing :) Good luck on your exam.

Shelly Said:

Can someone give me strong reasons why water conservation?

We Answered:

The WHY is that even though we DO have treatments for water, it also takes a lot of energy and resources to clean the water, and as we know, this world is based on economy, so there is a certain point where cleaning the water is not longer cost efficient and takes more resouces and energy than what the water is worth. Plus if those resources we use to clean the water suddenly stop working, we'll be screwed.

Plus though we do have the systems, there is a point where water can become too polluted with nasty nasty toxins and the like for it to be recycled or completely purfied to standard.

And the amount of estimated freshwater in the world is not ALL useable, some is stored as ice caps or underwater aquaducts/resevoirs that are unattainable.

what will happen to the earth if we do not conserve water?

We Answered:

there will always be a way to filter the water, but it may get increasingly expensive. they can even take salt out of ocean water, but the cost is prohibitive.

Why Should we Conserve Water?

We Answered:

70% of the Earth's surface is composed with water and less than 1% is available for human use. Fresh water supply has declined in places like Southern California. Conservation of water thus becomes important as gallons of water is wasted in daily activities. For instance turning off the faucet when brushing your teeth can save 3 gallons per day, taking a shorter shower saves 5 gallons a day, and installing a smart sprinkler controller in the garden saves 40 gallons per day.
