You may be aware of your carbon footprint—the measure of water footprint carbon dioxide emitted as a result of your daily activities—but do you know about your water footprint? Well now you can!

On January 8, 2008 Food & Water Watch joined with GRACE and the Center for a Livable Future at John's Hopkins University in launching "H2O Conserve," a web-based project that shows consumers how much water they use in their daily lives.

The project's Water Calculator measures water-use by factoring in water used for cleaning, bathing, outdoor landscaping and recreation, as well as water use related to an individual's dietary habits, energy consumption and recycling practices. H2O Conserve also provides tips for water conservation.

Use the Water Calculator and find out how to reduce your water footprint.
