Water is a precious resource in Georgia and
its neighboring stales. Growing populations
and ongoing drought are squeezing our water
resources dry, causing natural habitat
degradation and impacting our everyday use
of water. We have no choice bill to pay more
attention to how we are using water, and how
we may be wasting it. We must bridge the gap
between our understanding of how important
water is to our survival and what w e can do
to ensure that we have an aqcquate Supply of
clean water for years lo come. There are
simple ways we can take action and conserve
water, both inside and outside our homes.
