Water Conservation

As so many areas of North America face serious water shortages and even drought, consumers can do their part to conserve precious supplies through small, thoughtful changes in their lifestyles and activities.

About Your Water

There's as much water in the world today as there was thousands of years ago. Nearly 97 percent of the world's water is saltwater or brackish water. Another two percent is locked in ice caps and glaciers, leaving just 1 percent for all of our needs - agriculture, manufacturing, and personal.

WaterSense is a new voluntary public-private partnership program sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The program makes it easy to find and select water-efficient products with a label backed by independent testing and certification.
