Water is an important natural resource. It is used every day at home and at work in so many ways that many take it for granted. Water resources are not unlimited. They are affected every day by precipitation, population growth, economic development, and pollution. Because water is a resource that must be shared, competition for its use is an ever increasing management problem. In the past, supply problems were solved by constructing storage facilities and developing new resources such as wells and reservoirs. However, these measures can be both economically and environmentally costly. A more cost-effective way to protect water resources is through sound management and conservation.
