Shrink Your Water Footprint

Drought around the United States, particularly in California, has caused many of us to step back and think about how much we all depend upon water. But do you really know how much water you use?

Your water consumption doesn't just include the water you use directly (i.e., from a tap). It's also the water that is used to produce the food you eat, the products you buy, the energy you consume and even the water you save when you recycle. You may not drink, feel or see this virtual water, but it makes up the majority of your water footprint. And every drop counts!

GRACE's Water Footprint Calculator helps you figure out how much water you use, where you use it most and how you can waste less. It then gives you easy-to-use tips to reduce your water footprint.
