Is It Too Late??

Water conservation should not be considered an option any longer. Current circumstances require our full attention if we hope to thrive as a civilization. If these statements sound dramatic, it is because much of the world is currently suffering due to a lack of clean water. 

Statistics around the reveal that our fresh water supply is practically nonexistent. That is why it is so important to seek out, find and start using all the innovative water conservation solutions and methods that are available today.

Whether you live in Australia or China or the US, it is time to wake up and take responsiblity. It is easy to practice water conservation in the home, but there is more to be done. Our world needs help on a commercial level as well so that our waste can be controlled in such areas as agriculture and irrigation.

Water Conservation ideas are cropping up in exciting legislation. That's why our participation in the voting process is so important. Let's act now, so our kids will have a brighter, greener future.

Water Facts


  • Less than one half of a percent of water on earth is available fresh water. The rest is ocean, or frozen in ice caps.
    • More than a billion people lack access to safe drinking water, and more than 2.4 billion people lack adequate sanitation.
    • More than five million people, most of them children, die each year from illnesses caused from drinking unsafe water.
    • Global consumption of water is doubling every 20 years, more than twice the rate of human population growth.
    • If current trends persist, by 2025 the demand for freshwater is expected to rise to 56 percent above the amount that is currently available - which will result in as much as 2/3 of the world population unable to access to clean water.
    • The privatization of water industry is already a 400 billion dollar a year business globally - one third larger than global pharmaceuticals.
    • In the U.S. alone, private water corporations generate revenues of more than a billion US dollars a year - four times the annual sales of Microsoft.
