  • It takes a lot of water to grow food and care for animals.

  • Experts say we globally use 70% of our water sources for agriculture and irrigation, and only 10% on domestic uses. Less water means farming and other crops that need water to grow have lower yield.

  • It means farm animals will die and other will not do well without water.
