Suggestions for future work.
Compare water usage with current and projected future populations along the Wasatch Front:
How many people can our water supply support before change is needed?
How long until our water usage maxes out our supply?
What are some things being done now to conserve water?
What are some future sources of water?
What can you do as an individual to conserve water?
What effect will certain conservation efforts have on water usage? (i.e. calculate if 25% of the population turns off the faucet while they brush their teeth, how much water would that save?)
Get some official data on average household water use in Utah, so you can compare your house with the average.
