Find out how people get their water where you live! Follow
the link below and click on the part of the state that you live
in. Once you have found the correct watershed, click on the
"Water Use" link. Take a minute to look over the
figures. Pay special attention to the information under "Domestic".
Compare the amount of people serviced by ground water to those
serviced
by surface water. Also look at the amount of the population
that is self-supplied compared to the amount that get their water
from public supplies. Also, if you live in an area with a
