As we all know, water is constantly moving on earth. The hydrologic cycle (or water cycle) describes how water moves above, beneath, and below the surface of the earth. This is why the term ‘water cycle’ means there is no beginning nor end. While water can change states from liquid, vapour, or ice depending upon which part of this water cycle you’re looking at, the Earth’s water content remains constant. The only way to address the increasing water scarcity is to conserve the resources we have and to use them responsibly www.jolasers.com.au/workplace-investigations-albury-wodonga/.

Even though water appears abundant, it is vital that everyone does their part to conserve it. In addition to the obvious benefits of conserving water to lower costs for you and your business, publicized environmental concerns should give us all an incentive to conserve water. According to the BBC, people living in the richest countries use 10 times the water that those in the poorer ones. This is a serious problem for many of the world’s population. “Water-borne diseases already kill one child every eight second” [1]
