Water Conservation

Water is a Limited Resource

We learned that water is a limited resource. This means there is only a small amount available and we can not make more. 

We must conserve our water or we could run out of usable water.

CONSERVATION is the prevention of wasteful use of a resource.

RESOURCES are materials or substances such as water, soil, minerals, and forests
