Water Week 2022


No matter the reason. Regardless of the season. Your tap water is There When You Need It. During Drinking Water Week we
encourage you to appreciate the high quality of your water.

Protecting the Bottom of the Food Chain

Microinvertebrates may be small, but these species of charismatic microfauna are an important food source for many of the fish, birds, and mammals in the Great Salt Lake watershed. Because these creatures live in water, they are very sensitive to changes in their environment. We all need to work together to help protect the watershed.

I pledge to protect the bottom of the food chain by...

  • Conserving Water. Utah is a desert, which means that we need to use water wisely. Reduce the water you use by fixing leaks, turning off taps, and water-wise landscaping. (LocalScapes.com)
  • Preventing Litter. Actions on land can impact creatures in the water. Keep aquatic ecosystems clean by picking up after pets, recycling trash, and not pouring waste down storm drains. (Stream Side Science)
  • Cleaning Gear. Invasive species can catch a ride on boats, fishing gear, and water toys. Protect our watersheds by draining, washing, and drying your gear before entering the water. (Utah Department of Natural Resources)
