Water

One of the most important substances on earth and one of the easiest polluted.
This is a good starting point on the what and how of water: Nature Canada | Water Conservation

The National Trust has just produced a report -
BBC NEWS | Science & Environment | Water policy 'failing to deliver' -
saying that in UK, at least, we're not doing enough to prevent problems with our rivers: taking very short-sighted, local actions when we need to be thinking about 'source to sea' plans.
Is it different in other parts of the world?

Water conservation is a big issue and considering many parts of the world are facing a water shortage there is more stress on the rivers. Until consumers become conscious of their consumption patterns and begin conserving water, change will be distant.

BeWaterWise has some great tips on how to save water at home, in the garden, in the office etc - for details visit Water Saving Tips
