Water conservation is a major issue all over the world and I realize now that I had no comprehension of how much water I actually use.  I went on the Southwest Florida Water Management District Website and was able to calculate how many gallons of water I use daily.  I was astonished to see that I used approximately 155 gallons of water per day.  I would have never guessed that I was using that much water in a day. I do take some steps to conserve water, like turning off the faucet while I am brushing my teeth or washing my hands.  After actually seeing the number of gallons, I realize that I need to make a conscious effect to cut back in more way.  Like changing the shower head in our shower, cutting the length of time I am in the shower, filling up the sink with water first and then washing the dishes, and avoiding washing clothes until I have full load. Tourism is one of the main income providers in our area, a large portion of that income is generated from golf courses.  People want to play golf on green courses, keeping courses green requires a lot of water. I think that conservation of water is everyone's responsibility, and like everything else in conservation if we all make a few small adjustments, they can add up to significant changes.
