How do we use water?

As we look at bodies of water, it's important for us to think about how people use water resources. Today we talked about how many gallons of water we use each day. One gallon? Two gallons? Kids were surprised to learn that the average American uses 80-100 gallons of water each day!

Here is a game that you can play to see how much water is used by everyday activities.

If you like Pac-Man, you might enjoy this game from the EPA. Take the water droplet Flow through a maze and answer questions about water use.

Here is the Powerpoint that we used to talk about water resources in Pennsylvania. Do you remember what the word agriculture means? What about tourism?
