Why Save Water?

• We can't make new water if we misuse the water we have. There is not a lot of water around for people to use.
• Of all the water on the earth, 97% is salt water, only 3% is fresh water, and most of that is frozen in polar ice caps. Less than 1% of the Earth's water is available for our use.
• The average Canadian usually uses 450 litres of water a day, that's enough to fill 3 bathtubs!
• Plug the drain of your tub and take a shower. Then check the water level in the tub. Is it as deep as the water you usually run for a bath?
