The importance of water

I found this article on CNN today. You can click on the title of this entry to link to the story or you can paste the link into your browser below. Interesting story. It establishes why water conservation is so important. We tend to take it for granted, however, our supply is not endless. We only have so much that we are allowed to take out of the ground on a daily basis. Not protecting our watersource could lead to situations like the one the City of Atlanta is going through and this city in Orme, Tenessee.

The City of Orme only gets water for three hours a day because they don't have enough to go around. They have a spring that feeds their supply. That supply has dried up. You can bet it is from overuse in the surrounding area.

Enjoy the reading.
