Usually we don’t close the tap when we are taking a shower because we think water is a renewable resource and it will never run out. However the truth is that we are living a water crisis and we have to start saving water.
Over 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is water covered but most of it is saltwater, located in oceans and seas, and only 0,3 percent of Earth’s water is usable by humans. There is much more water stored underground than there is on the surface.
This water crisis has been caused by climate change and pollution.
If we continue to pollute water like we have been doing in the future water will be too polluted and unsafe to drink. Emissions of gases that cause acid rain are also a problem because water has become to acid and already destroyed monuments and trees.
Climate change has led to floods and droughts in different places. A lot of hurricanes and tsunamis are water related.
There is already many people living in water-stressed areas so we have to start acting right now.

Water is the key to our survival. So it's important to save water, like you said. All of us should start to get attention to this and we all should do something about it.
Good post!
