Water conservation is extremely important. If we don't make
sure we are conserving enough now we could run out and it would be too late to
do anything about it. According to texaslivingwaters.org ,
the population of Texas is set to double by 2050 , and if that is the case we
are not prepared to have that much water to support that influx of people.
Austin is the leading city in Texas towards
making conservation efforts (yay!). Of course, there is always more we could do
though. It seems to be more cost-effective for the state as well as any
conservation means prevention of waste, hypothetically. This prevention could
also keep from disasters like flooding from dams. Therefore, no expensive
damages would have to be paid for.
It
also seems expected that as we grow as a state, things like droughts could be
more likely and common and conserving our water could help when times become
more desperate. Do simple things like keeping an eye on how long you let the
water go on your lawn or turning of the faucet while brushing your teeth are
small changes but could be incredibly helpful in the long run. It’s a small
price to pay to help keep the younger generations afloat as well as help
ourselves as I don’t think any of us would like to run out of water in the
middle of a drought in hot, humid Texas!
