Theres no doubt that water is important. Not only do we humans
use it just about every day, but every living thing needs it to
live. It has helped form the Earth as we know it, and it covers
over 70% of the Earth. Even where there is land, much of it is
covered in ice, which is obviously just solid water. The importance
of water is clear to us in many ways, and we cant overlook it.
Where would people be without water? Well aside from, you know,
not being alive, we may never have evolved the big brains that
make us such a unique species. Some say that that learning how to
keep, and transport water over land was the key to our survival
when other similar species just kept dying off.

Water is a precious natural resource
that is often taken for granted. The
Greater Dublin Region consumes 110
million gallons (500MI) of drinking
water per day. This puts an enormous
strain on the water supply to meet an
ever-increasing demand. To help you
ease the strain and save this precious
resource, here are a few tips on how to
save water around your home, office or
school.

Pestisides
The environmental impact of pesticides is often greater than what is intended by
those who use them. Over 98% of sprayed insecticides and 95% of herbicides
reach a destination other than their target species, including nontarget species, air,
water, bottom sediments, and food. Though there can be benefits using pesticides,
inappropriate use can counterproductively increase pest resistance and kill the
natural enemies of pests. Many users are inadequately informed about potential
short and long-term risks, and the necessary precautions in the correct application
of such toxic chemicals are not always made. Pesticides can contaminate
unintended land and water when they are sprayed aerially or allowed to run off
fields, or when they escape from production sites and storage tanks or are
inappropriately discarded.
