Nonresidential water use in the U.S.
Okay kiddo, let's talk about water usage in buildings that aren't homes. That means places like shopping malls, schools, hospitals, and office buildings.
Just like at home, these places need water for things like washing hands, flushing toilets, and cleaning. However, because there are more people using the water in these buildings compared to a home, they tend to use a lot more water overall.
To help conserve water, people in charge of these buildings can install things like low-flow toilets and faucets that use less water. They can also make sure to fix any leaks so the water isn't being wasted.
Overall, it's important to remember that every drop of water we use is important, whether it's in our homes or in other buildings. By being mindful of our water usage, we can help protect this precious resource.
