Save Our Water Resource

Save Our Water Resource
When we talk about water, we all focused on the pollution of water. It is true that some of seas or rivers are contaminated, so more and more people start to fight for the pollution, such as we always see some people stick the words like “keep thaoe clean”. But now the shortage of water is much more important for us, especially for the people in California. We always heard that the area is lack of water, which experience the drought. Actually the biggest problem now we are meeting is the shortage of water.
In general speaking, most of water used in California is for the environment. According to the Water and energy data, which shows bout 50% of water is used in environment, and 40% of water we use is for the agricultural. Only 10 % of water we use is for the urban. We can do nothing with this kind of usage. We can not control it so much. But what we can do is to save water through our daily life use.
According to American Water Works Association Research Foundation, we use 26.7% of water for the toilet, 21.7% of water to wash clothes, 16.8% of water to take shower, and 15.7% of water from the faucet, and there are 13.7% of water washed away through the leaks.  Now things are better, we can see that most of restroom has installed two kinds of flushers, so you can choose which one to use, bigger one or the small one. But most of people do not care about it. For the laundry, most of people like me used to choose the super load size water, but sometimes we only wash small amount of clothes with the super larger load, which is really a waste of water. Also for the dishes, we spend a lot of water on this. Sometimes we just let the water go through while we wash the dishes one by one.

It is the time that we really need to save our water, not only for us, but also for the next or the next next generations. Or they will do not have enough water to satisfy their basic needs. Since it is difficult for us to control the water used in agricultural, but we can do from us. Maybe next time just choose proper size of water to wash clothes, and just use some storage to wash the dishes. Also I never have the idea that when we use the electron, when we drive the car, or make some machines., we all have already used the water. I only know this from the material that our English teacher showed us. It is so amazing, and so surprised, that water usage exist on every activity, and every objects. Such as the car which will use a lot of water to make a car. When you use the microwave, you still use water to make ir works. I just start to relies that we need to save water, not only for the water we can see use our eyes, but also need to save the water through avoiding use the electric machine so often. For example, we can use the pot to prepare the food, instead of microwave. We can use the car together with our family members or with our friends. so it will help us to save some resource of water to make a car. try to think to save water when you use water.
