You're already far more efficient than your grandparents, or even your parents, when it comes to energy and water use. Innovations in home building, technology, appliances and more have made our homes and cities more energy efficient. Just like a home built today has more efficient windows, and modern air conditioners use less energy to cool a home, your home uses less water today.
Consider Arizona, with its massive population growth over the last several decades. According to the Arizona Department of Water Resources, we’re using less water today than we did in 1957 when just 1.1 million people called Arizona home. It's a testament to changes in the way our state uses water, smarter water management, innovations in technology and – last but certainly not least – simple choices that ordinary people are making every day that use less water.

Consider Arizona, with its massive population growth over the last several decades. According to the Arizona Department of Water Resources, the state consumed about seven million acre-feet of water in 2013 — that's water for drinking, watering lawns, showering and irrigating our crops and fields.
Curious how much water Arizona consumed in 1957? 7.1 million acre-feet.
While our population today is more than 6.58 million, we're using less water today than we did in 1957, when just 1.1 million people called Arizona home. It's a testament to smarter water management and innovation.
Here are some of the ways we're using water more smartly today:
