Water: Every Drop Counts [INFOGRAPHIC]

The thing about water is that, while it may pour from the heavens and flow through the rivers – it’s actually a finite resource.

Going from the global state of water to daily, individual usage, this infographic lays out all the facts – and, of course, shares a few tips for making every drop count.
