Aquifers are underground layers of rock that can hold water. Freshwater is pumped out of aquifers for many household uses.

Describe a method or device that could be used to monitor the amount of water being used in the home.
b. Describe one way people can reduce their daily use of water and explain how the change can create a larger, positive impact in the community.
