"If you could tomorrow morning make water clean in the world, you would have done, in one fell swoop, the best thing you could have done for improving human health by improving environmental quality." - William C. Clark

A safe and secure water supply may no longer exist. While our demands for water continue to increase, pollution, declining water tables and longer drought periods are further depleting the usable water supply. We use water everyday at our homes and at work in many circumstances that we tend to take for granted. Water passes through our homes, helps cook our food, bathes us, washes our clothes, waters our lawns and carries away the many by-products of our everyday lives. We return it to the environment, often to the same body of water it came from, but in poorer condition. Understanding how people's water uses affects an entire watershed is the first step towards preserving our precious water resources.
