1. Why does America use so much water?
At first you would think that America uses so much water because America has a larger population than Greece, which uses about half the amount the U.S. or the United Kingdom with uses about an eighth but it is not that. The reason is because America uses water for all the wrong reasons. Yes, America is larger than Greece and the U.K. and it does have a lot more people but America is very wasteful. Water is needed for good hygiene and for drinking for just staying alive. But the wrong reasons are that water is used for entertaining such as water shows, water parks and even for decorations of buildings. Some firemen use it to lift a car from the ground. Much of it is wasted and not used properly. Water is neglected and it is not conserved nor taken care of.

2. Is it necessary for the United States to use so much water?
No, it is not necessary to use all that water but if America were smart enough to re-use or recycle then there wouldn't be so much water wasted anywhere. Water can be recycled like after rinsing the dishes, the water can be used for the plants.

3. What is water used for?
Water is supposed to be used as a necessity to help people live better. For example it should be used wisely to water crops because this help provide food for all people. Water is used everywhere such as homes to take showers, for toilets and for drinking. Water is used in hospitals for therapy and for sanitizing tools. It should also be used to take out fires and only for emergencies.

4. Is America running out of water?
Yes, Water is the most valuable resource in America and the world today and despite the lakes, it's short in supply. People are contaminating the water by not recycling and throwing waste in water. Also there has been droughts in many parts of the U.S.

5. What happens if the U.S. runs out of water?
The U.S. needs fresh water to survive. The U.S. would have to borrow water from other countries and if that does not work then they would have to purify the salt water found in oceans. The fresh water is in the lakes and rivers and it is easier because they are very close to cities everywhere. The salt water is in the oceans and they are not close to the middle of the U.S. The bad thing is that people just don't take care of the oceans either so everyone needs to learn to conserve.
