A Culture of Conservation: Water is Life

With less than once percent of the Earth's water accessible and available for human consumption, this video reminds us how important clean water is to our bodies, our communities and our Earth.

All the water that will ever be exists right now in the Earth's biosystem. The Earth's water is in constant motion - the process known as the hydrologic cycle.

How much are we willing to change our lives to ensure the water we use is clean, pure and readily available and affordable to all?

Created to accompany the video series, these two publications serve as additional resources for educating youth about the importance of our natural resources.
