Welcome to the Water Conservation App. We hopeeveryone downloads this app. Water conservation has become anessential practice in all regions, even in areas where water seemsabundant. In addition to saving money on your utility bill, waterconservation helps prevent water pollution in nearby lakes, riversand local watersheds.

Conserving water can also extend the life of your septic systemby reducing soil saturation, and reducing any pollution due toleaks. Overloading municipal sewer systems can also cause untreatedsewage to flow to lakes and rivers. The smaller the amount of waterflowing through these systems, the lower the likelihood ofpollution. In some communities, costly sewage system expansion hasbeen avoided by community-wide household water conservation.

Saving water also saves energy. A portion of energy used in anystate is for pumping and treating water. In fact, pumping water,sometimes uphill, accounts for 2 – 3% of all the electricity usedin a state. As for your personal energy bill, using less hot watersaves on water heating. Conversely, saving energy and usingalternative energy saves water. Electricity production from fossilfuels and nuclear energy is responsible for 39% of all freshwaterwithdrawals in the nation.

There are many effective ways to conserve water in and aroundyour home. Look through this app for ways that will work foryou.
