Water is necessary for the sustenance of human life.

While the
supply seems abundant, water is not a limitless resource, particularly
the fresh potable water most necessary to human survival. Without
conservation efforts, this vital supply of water may be exhausted.
Conservation carries economic benefits as well, as energy and
equipment are also conserved as a direct result of water
preservation efforts.
The vast majority of life on Earth is at least indirectly tied to the
supply of water. Conservation protects the balance of life on Earth,
which would be upset by a reduction in the water supply. Overuse of
water also threatens other life forms which help sustain us.
