In most parts of the United States, clean water runs freely from faucets and taps.
If you’re thirsty, you can go to the sink, turn a handle, and pour yourself a glass of water. If you want to bathe, cook, or even water the plants, you can open a tap and water rushes out. An American family of four uses about 400 gallons of water every day. Compare that to families in many parts of the world that have only 10 gallons to divvy up.
