Clean water is essential to our homes, our health, and our economy. Without it, the vibrant nature and industry that make Houston so unique would be gone. Recognizing water's value is the first step in ensuring our systems remain reliable for generations to come. (4/5)

It means no water in our bayous, impacting recreation and the local ecosystems that rely on them. Even simple activities like enjoying game day refreshments, visiting Houston breweries, or having a morning coffee would not be possible. (3/5)

What would a day without water truly mean for our city? It means no life-saving procedures at the Texas Medical Center, where a surgery happens every three minutes. It means no production at our major oil and gas facilities, slowing the economic engine of our region. (2/5)
