This is what water levels at the Hoover Dam looked like in 1983 compared to 2018.
Nevada needs this water to survive, so we need to start saving water now.
Nevada needs this water to survive, so we need to start saving water now.
Look at the water comparison at 2001 and in 2015. Look how much water we wasted in the past 14 years. In 3 or 4 years we might run out of water.
SOLUTIONS
We can save water by getting a water reducer for your shower and your sink and you can save money and water.
SOLUTIONS
1. Can you imagine in 1989 the water was up to 1,229 feet and now it's 1,067 feet.
2. There are many ways to cut back on water use throughout your house from your kitchen and bathroom to your laundry room and even fixing leaks.
3. A- quarter to three-quarters of all residential water use is outdoor. A few simple steps can help you reduce you outdoor water use and waste less.
4. Spend less time in the shower. If you lose track of time bring a radio into the bathroom and tie yourself by how many songs play while you"re in there. Try to get your shower time done to a single song (epic rock ballads like free bird don't count.
5. Think of baths as an occasional treat and stick to showers. The average bath uses 35 to 50 gallons of water, whereas a 10-minute shower with a low-flow shower-head only uses 25 gallons.
This boat was under water and now it's not.
