 Have you ever stopped think about how important water is? It is a necessity to all living things but honestly, sometimes we take water for granted. Water is used in agriculture for livestock, to grow our food and to grow plants like cotton to make our clothing. Water is necessary in manufacturing the products we use, from shampoo to cars to carpet. Here in Georgia we use water to generate much of our power through hydroelectric power plants. In our communities we use water for recreation, landscaping and fire fighting. And don’t forget that water provides habitat for many species of animals. Water is our most precious natural resource.
