Abstract
Water use in the United States has declined about ten percent in the last two decades (Egan & Bergquist, 2010). Thanks to consumer technology like low-flow toilets and faucets and a nationwide decrease in manufacturing, water use has been dropping since about 1980 (Egan & Bergquist, 2010). Globally, the outlook is not as positive. The United Nations reported in 2003 that two billion people in forty-eight countries may be living in water-scarce conditions by 2050 (Egan & Bergquist, 2010). Despite decreased usage in the United States, many Americans may be among those facing water-scarce conditions.
