The theme for Stewardship Week
2006 is "Water
Wise."
Water is vital to our life. Water makes up more
than 60% of our body, and about of our brain. Water helps make
possible our every movement, thought, and feeling.
All our food and most other products we use require water. It takes about
4,000 gallons of water to grow a bushel of corn, and about 11,000 gallons
for a bushel of wheat.
We sometimes take water for granted. But this precious resource may become
increasingly scarce as we place more demands on fresh water supplies.
To ensure future water supplies, we need to learn about water resources, and
plan to use them carefully. To help achieve this goal,
NACD
has chosen "Water Wise" as the theme for the 2006 Soil and Water Stewardship
Week celebration.
Join us as we help share with friends, neighbors,
colleagues, and children the very important reasons we all need to be "Water
Wise."
