NATIONAL WATER QUALITY MONTH

NATIONAL WATER QUALITY MONTH

National Water Quality Month in August reminds us that it takes much more than just turning on the tap to guarantee clean, potable water.

#NationalWaterQualityMonth

The average person uses approximately 80 gallons of water or more per day. The water we use includes bathing, cleaning, household waste, and drinking water. Depending on where we live, the amount of water, usage, population and treatment facilities available vary. Protecting our water resources and educating ourselves about water quality is an important goal of National Water Quality Month.

Around the world, these variables change greatly. In some villages, available drinkable water is scarce and indoor plumbing does not exist. Nearly 2 billion people don't have access to water globally. Lack of communication on an international level is a contributing factor for getting water to areas that lack resources. Other contributing factors include:

  1. Natural disasters

  2. War

  3. Infrastructure availability

  4. National water resources drying up

  5. Wastewater
