Not enough!

Between 1950 and 2000, the U.S. population nearly doubled. However, in that same period, the peoples demand for water more than tripled! Americans now use an average of 100 gallons of water each day enough to fill 1,600 glasses! That’s a whole lot of numbers! In fact, it’s too much numbers for the quantity of water we have. They say only 3% of the water on Earth is potable. With all the water we use to clean, to take showers, to flush the toilet and to make things grow. In a lifetime, an average person will use enough water to fill up 2 Olympic size swimming pools. Imagine, 303,824,640 people inhabiting the U.S.A., that’s a lot of swimming pools!
