Why Conserve?
For Utah's Water Future
Utah is one of the driest states in the nation, consistently landing in the top five. As a result, our water resources are critical to conserve, especially amid climate change, persistent drought and population growth.
Since 2000, our population has increased by almost 48% and is projected to increase by another 49% by 2050. This growth will convert some agricultural lands into urban/suburban areas and will increase the density of our current urban regions. Because of this growth, many of our water basins will primarily provide for residential areas rather than agricultural ones. Therefore, it is crucial for Utah's economy, environment and health that each person conserve as much water as possible—even during good water years.
As we all work together to conserve, we will be able to sustain life in our beautiful state. Every drop counts, and Slow the Flow is here to provide water-saving tips, resources and support.
