Water is is very important to these planet and we need it to survive. As you can see that 72 percent of Earth is covered in water, but 97 percent of that water is salty ocean water and is not good for drinking (Pete). Is the salt water that can only be comsumed by only humans and other species, after undergoing desalinations, that is not a good process. Meaning people need to start using less water and save as much water as they can. In Africa, water is limited due to the contamination. It seems like we have alot of water so that is why some of us waste it. Only 1 percent of the earth's water is available for drinking water. Two percent is frozen...

...importance of saving water. All living beings on the earth need water to live. For example, a person can survived 30 or more days without food, but only few days without water. Therefore, water is one of our most precious resources to survive, but also, one of our most wasted. One more reason to save water is to protect our environment. As more water we waste, more we are damaging our eco-system. Although, replenish water is a natural process, we are using water faster than our ecosystem is able to replenish it. In addition, using less...

...Water-Wise Water-Wise Water Situation In SA Due to ongoing drought, climate change and an increasing population, many state governments have imposed regulations on water usage within the home and business. These can include restrictions on watering garden beds and lawns, hosing driveways, cleaning vehicles, filling swimming pools and using sprinkler systems. My Family My family consists of my mother and father, my 28 year old brother and myself, Our household is always full of life, as we are all home 24/7 except the occasional moment when my brother or myself will go to a friend’s place or go out. My father is always home and my mother goes to my Nanna's house every day. We always try and conserve as much water as possible each day like timing our showers and making sure we keep the shower under a 6 minute period. We also had a man come around and install Shower Saving Heads for free, in exchange for our old shower heads. Also we always turn on the dishwasher only if there is a full load, exactly the same with the washing machine we only use it when there is a full load. We also have a filter of fresh water inside the fridge so that we are not using the tap for drinking water all the time. We also have a kettle and we only fill it up once a day, so that it is always full and we are not constantly filling it up all day. My Findings- How can we save more water? We always do our best to conserve water but sometimes we use the dishwasher when it is only a half...

...Carry reusable shopping bags at least some of the time, and save on plastic and paper bags. Waste less. There are hundreds of opportunities to nurture a zero waste culture. Use both sides of a paper, carry your own mugs to coffee shops and bring your own bags when you go shopping, or get printer cartridges refilled instead of replacing them. Compost food scraps, avoid bottled water and other packaged products, upgrade computers rather than buying new ones... the list is endless! Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Make it a habit to reduce the things we need or we consume. Purchase only things that we only need and eat only what you can. Let us do our share not to be part of the problem or should I say part of the garbage problem. Reuse all the things that can still be repaired/fixed or those things that are still okay. Recycle things to conserve our resources, collect old newspapers, books, magazines, used papers, bottles (plastic and glass), and any other things that you could sell in junkyards. There is money in garbage and at the same time we’re doing our part in recycling process. Be responsible with your garbage, dispose them properly. Also try to use segregation scheme with your trashes, separate those decomposable from those that are not. You may utilize a compost pit to house all of your organic trashes and eventually use this as your fertilizer for your backyard garden or to your plants. Do the traditional way of helping to conserve our environment by virtue of avoiding...

...Domestic Wastage of Water. Introduction The idea is very simple yet effective in a sense that this is basically a public service message, specifically targeted to the general public living in Pakistan. We at Water Wise are trying our bit to save water for future. According to a research by the year 2030, there will be a World War of all countries for water, at that time people won’t fight for oil and land but only for water. So, keeping in mind that the ground water level is decreasing with every passing day we all should think seriously about it, because it is for the welfare of us. The main objective of Water Wise is not to restrict the use of water, but to reduce the wastage of water. This is the key efficiency of saving water, and make our planet and people living around happy. About one third of the water each person uses on a daily basis is wasted – it runs straight down the plughole or down the toilet without being used. It is this wastage we want to cut down. This is a public service message for the cause of saving water. Saving water will not only save the environment, but if you are on a water meter it will save you money on your water bill, and it will save you money on your energy bill if you reduce your hot water consumption. This is all about saving water for a safe future of ours. I’ll meet people from different walks of life, and I’ll know how much water on average they use on daily basis. Then I’ll meet people from Water Department i.e.WASA, and know about...

...California needs to regulate the use of groundwater and make a law, groundwater can be very dangerous and has many downsides. Farmers should try to save and use other sources of water and overall stop the use of groundwater. If we keep using ground water at this paste then we will eventually run out and the ground will continue to decrease. Making a law will allow the ground to renew itself. California needs to limit the amount of groundwater by making a law to force farmers to try to save the water and use desalinization and stormwater harvesting. California does not know how much groundwater is left. We need to know how much is left because eventually we will run out. If we run out then farmers most likely will not have a backup plan ,...

...California Save Water,” he states that even though the state has issued the water cutback, “the most effective enforcers may be closer to home: the domestic water police.” Parents, children, co-workers, and neighbors are taking the initiative to point out when water is being wasted. According to Richtel’s article, more than 70,000 warnings for overuse of water, and more than 20,000 penalties have been issued ever since family and friends have started pointing out the problem. For people that are uncomfortable with shaming their friends and family, there are still ways to make sure the wasting of water does not go unnoticed. Technology is now helping people take a stance against water wasting offenders. Smartphone apps are making it easier to conserve water while also pointing out over consumption. Apps such as Vizsafe, and H2O Tracker allow users to upload picture evidence of water being wasted, in hopes that the problem will soon be addressed. Author of the article, “As California Thirsts, These Apps Help Save Water,” Kit Eaton explains that these apps, “encourage responsible water usage through the age-old mechanism of peer pressure.” Hopefully this method of what some may consider snitching, will alert and encourage offenders to become better informed about the...

...The first visual text that includes the Earth in a situation with severe drought and is revitalized by water is similar to the golden faucet that controls water with a lock, but they both have great differences such as they are both trying to convey the same initial message but in completely opposite ways. In addition, they are different because the way that they convey the role that water plays in our life is completely different and the target group is also completely different. They are also similar because they target the idea that water is essential and its conservation is very important and that without water conservation we would lose our essentials. But I have come to a conclusion that the second visual text conveys a better feeling of what it is trying to get across without too much over thinking and just by keeping it simple and very clean, just a small phrase that aids to the visual representation that is given. These to visual texts are similar to the point that they are trying to show you the fact that water...

...Wasted Water Water is the most important resource to human life and without it we would perish very quickly. “We could survive for several weeks without food, but for only a few days without freshwater” (Miller & Spoolman, 2013, p.238). Water also plays a key role in shaping the earth’s surface, controlling the climate and helping to remove and dilute some of the pollutants that exist (Miller & Spoolman, 2013). If that is the case, why do we take such huge advantage of this valuable resource? One reason I believe we do is there is a belief that exists in all of us that water is abundant and will always be here. There is some truth to that by the amount of water that is here on earth but this is deceiving because that is sea water and the salt levels in sea water is too high for us to consume or use in our homes and lives like we do now. But regardless of how important this source is, we continue to waste it and at a good rate. “According to water resource expert Mohamed El-Ashry of World Resources institute, about 66% of the freshwater used in the world and about 50% of the freshwater used in the United States is unnecessarily wasted” (Miller & Spoolman, 2013, p. 251). He goes on to state that if we can reduce our waste to 15%, that would be enough to meet the water needs of the world for the foreseeable future (Miller & Spoolman, 2013). I chose critical thinking question number four at the end of chapter 11 which asks to calculate how many liters and gallons of water are wasted...

...Behavioral Intentions: Conserving Water MKG 310 Consumer Behaviors Professor John Vann Introduction to Water Conservation Today, 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by water. Only 2% of that water is fresh. Of that 2%, 1.6% of fresh water is trapped in the glaciers, leaving only .4% available for the 7 billion people living on this planet. Since the beginning of time, humans have been dealing with limited resources, water being one of them, and have learned how to use them wisely (Saving the Water, 2015). Water is an extremely scarce resource. With the population growing and water supply remaining stagnant, it is clear that something needs to be done. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the term water conservation refers to the preservation, control and development of water resources, both surface and groundwater, and prevention of pollution (Glossary of Statistical Terms, 2001). Today, people have been taking the world’s limited water supply for granted which has led to the depletion of conserving it. Water conservation is an important concept that is being stressed upon younger generations. In order to show the importance of saving water, it is imperative that the youth are educated on behavioral practices that support water conservation. These behaviors involve changing current habits connected to water usage to promote efficiency. Behavioral change is inconvenient for many which is why water conservation has been at a standstill...

...and unnecessary daily water usage is not improving the California drought. There are many options available to individuals and businesses to help conserve water. In this research paper we will discuss the techniques, eco-friendly appliances and drought tolerant landscaping ideas to help conserve. We will also go into greater detail on rebate incentives to persuade individuals to preserve water consumption. As an employee of the municipal water district I will be discussing the different techniques individuals and companies can take to help conserve water. Individuals can change many things in their daily routines such as, turning the water off while brushing teeth and hands as well as not letting the water run longer then needed. Individuals who use their dishwasher can wait till the dishwasher is full and wash only certain days a week. They can do the same when washing laundry as well and use the cold cycle rather than hot water whenever possible. I am going to focus on these three beneficial techniques, not flushing every time we use the bathroom, recycling and reusing water, and only using appliances when they are full. The point of view that I am going to take is from an employee at a municipal water district teaching homeowners to save water during this drought. I will be sharing my thoughts on appliances that are energy/water saving. I will go into detail on the household appliances inside of the house. I will discuss all ways to reduce water usage with dishwashers...
