Water
Water is essential. Water
shapes and molds the topography of the earth. It is key to
chemical and physical reactions (breathing and respiring) and
everything that living being do. We cannot live without
clean water. 70% of the earth is water and 97% of that is
salt water, therefore not suitable for drinking. 2% of the fresh
water on earth is frozen in glaciers or the ice caps. This
leaves 7 billion people with only 1%
of the earth's water to drink. This is a daunting ratio and, to
make matters worse, population growth, urban sprawl and climate
change threaten the small amount of water we are able to use. It
is not something to be wasted.
Salt Lake City’s most
important goals are the preservation of the drinking water
source quality, the protection of the watershed, and water
conservation.
