Water Conservation Will there be enough water for a more crowded world? The adult human uses on average about 100 gallons of water a day. Only about 2.5% of earth’s water is fresh and only 1% is actually attainable for usage. The available water on earth has not changed. The same water we have today has been recycled for millions of years‚ we are not gaining any more. The time to do something is now. In this essay I would like to remark on the past‚ present‚ and future of water conservation.
