​Evaporation

​Can take place over land, lakes, oceans, and everywhere there is exposed water

​

The heat of the day causes surface water to change from a liquid to a gas​

​

The water molecules then rise into the atmopsphere​

​Condensation & Precipitation

As the water vapor in the atmosphere comes together, it forms clouds

​

Once the clouds have formed and there is enough water vapor collected through condensation, droplets begin to form

​

Gravity pulls the excess water to the ground​

​

Snow collects mountains

​

Water that falls on the land soaks into the soil ​

​The total home usage for a family of four is estimated at 400 gallons of water per day.

​Water Conservation

Low-flow plumbing fixtures and toilets

​

Penalties for high water usage

​

During the dry seasons, watering the lawn or washing cars is against the law​

*In southwest states​

​Increased populations lead to higher food consumption, and as a result, there will be a need for more water to grow the food.

​It is estimated that it takes 1,303 gallons of water to raise the cow, and grow the wheat, lettuce, and tomatoes needed to make one hamburger.
