Myth: We have less water today than we did 100 years ago.

Myth: We have less water today than we did 100 years ago.

Reality:​ There is the same amount of water on Earth today as three billion years ago. Today, however, an increase in society demands has been placed on the same amount of water and our habits. These increased demands have, in a sense, created a different kind of water: water that is regulated, treated, and sold. Because our water demands continue to grow, but our supplies don’t, drinking water availability counts on everyone lending a hand to conserve, protect, and get involved with decisions that positively affect our water resources.
