Water Consumption All living organisms on Earth need water to survive. Many, including humans, require fresh water, but only 3% of the water on the Earth's surface is fresh water. How is fresh water important to you? How does this affect the way you manage your use of fresh water?

Write an essay that explains how you use and conserve fresh water based on how important it is to you. Support your explanation using evidence, such as facts and examples.

As you write, remember your essay will be scored based on how well you:

develop a multi-paragraph response to the assigned topic that clearly communicates your controlling idea to the audience.
support your controlling idea with meaningful examples, information, and references from the text.
cite direct quotes and any information that has been paraphrased from the passages that you have read.
organize your essay in a clear and logical manner, including an introduction, body, and conclusion.
use well-structured sentences and language that are appropriate for your audience.
edit your work to conform to the conventions of standard American English.
