In the United States, we are lucky to have an easy way to get clean water — just by turning on the tap.

We wake up in the morning, take a shower, brush our teeth, drink a cup of coffee and go out to enjoy a beautiful day. Water is an important part in our daily lives and we use it for different purposes (目的)，but do we really know how much we use?

Each American family uses more than 300 gallons (加仑）of water per day at home. About 70% of this use is indoors.

Water also plays a big part in our local com-munities (当地社区). Without water there would be no local business or factories. Fire fighting, parks, -and public swimming pools all need lots of water. We need a lot of pipes to bring us a large amount of water to our taps each day.

Where does all this water come from? It starts out as rain or snow and flows into our local lakes, rivers and streams or into underground. You can learn more about water in your country, for example, how people protect water and where your local drinking water comes from.
