Support Hydro-Local Living: Help Us Reach Our $100,000 Goal
The United Nations estimates that each person needs 50–100 liters of water per day to meet basic needs like drinking, cooking, and hygiene. In the U.S., that translates to 13-26 gallons a day. However, in Tucson—a city known for being water-conscious—the average water use per person per day still hovers around 80 gallons.
Imagine the Impact of Hydro-Local Living
Imagine the impact if we only used the water we truly need. By reducing our water use to 40 gallons a day, we can shift from being water consumers to water stewards, valuing and protecting our local resources instead of relying on the costly, energy-intensive water from the Colorado River.
How Watershed Management Group is Leading the Way
At Watershed Management Group, we're not just imagining this future—we're actively building it. Every day, we demonstrate and teach hydro-local living, showing our community how to use water wisely and sustainably. But to amplify this movement and make hydro-local living the norm, we need your support.
