265 - Why do we need to conserve water?

We need to conserve water because it's essential for our survival and the Earth's survival. Here's why:

1. Water is limited: Only 3% of the Earth's water is freshwater, and most of it is frozen in glaciers.
2. Many people don't have enough: Some communities don't have access to clean drinking water.
3. Water is used for many things: We need water for drinking, washing, growing food, and for animals too.
4. Wasting water hurts the environment: When we waste water, it pollutes our rivers, lakes, and oceans.

By conserving water, we can ensure that everyone has enough clean water to drink, grow food, and take care of the Earth. Simple actions like turning off the tap while brushing teeth or taking shorter showers can make a big difference.
