SAVING WATER INDOORS
Never put water down the drain when there may be another use for it such as watering a plant or garden, or cleaning.
Verify that your home is leak-free, because many homes have hidden water leaks. Read your water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If the meter does not read exactly the same, there is a leak.

Water Quality of San Francisco Bay
A Long-term Program of the U.S. Geological Survey
San Francisco Bay is the geographic landmark of a region that is home to nearly 10 million people. We value the Bay for its aesthetic enhancement of the region, its moderation of our climate, the recreational opportunities it provides, and its place as habitat for diverse communities of plants and animals. The rapid population growth in California has changed the San Francisco Bay ecosystem. Since 1968, t ...

Introduction
We all hear the words "germ" and "bacteria" and "virus" from our earliest days.

For many of us, our concept of these tiny organisms is a hodge-podge of half-truths and misinformation. Add the element of fear -- plague, cholera, polio, and HIV have terrified generations in their turn -- and you have a recipe f ...

The Earth's water is always in circulation. It has been recycled for the last 3 billion years. This process is called the water cycle.

Start brainstorming. Where can you find water in the city? Fountains? Rivers? Kitchen sinks? Puddles? Lakes? Swimming pools? Reservoirs? Sewers? Creeks? R ...
