    According to Florida Atlantic University, climate change scenarios such as Sea-Level Rise (SLR), increasing temperatures, and changing weather patterns threaten the quality and availability of South Florida’s drinking water sources. SLR causes salt water intrusion to freshwater aquifers, flooding, septic tank leakage, and soil saturation. These consequences of rising sea levels pose potential threats to human health. Safe drinking water is not a luxury, it is a necessity. We all need to do what we can to stop the intrusion and save our water supply.

    Barney, the purple dinosaur, taught my kids to 'never let the water run' while brushing our teeth. That song sticks in my head every day while brushing, with the water off. It's a simple and easy way to conserve water! Do you remember this song?? https://youtu.be/YDwdtT07Ub0?si=5eUfsy7_Tr_w6Qhp
