Water Management Best Practices

Every Drop Counts!

Every one of your actions results in some kind of impact on the environment. We don't often take a minute to stop and think about how the world around us is affected by the things we do on a daily basis and learn water management best practices along the way. It’s hard to identify how the environment changes when you turn on the faucet and drink a glass of water. Only when you calculate how much water you drink in one year might you begin to realize how much you depend on having clean water.

Of course you can’t protect all the water in the world, but there are many simple things you can do such as keeping contaminants from polluting our water resources and using our natural resources wisely.

Each of us must do our part – we can't sit back and rely on others to make sure the world is a safe place to live now and in the future.

By becoming an environmental steward, you will identify your behaviors that may harm the environment and take steps to reduce or eliminate these behaviors.

• Every thing you do influences the environment.
  
• Never underestimate the impact of a single action.
  
• These single actions leave lasting impressions!
• Learn and apply the water management best practices shown on the Michigan Water Stewardship Program website to help conserve one of our planet's most important resources!
