The 16 ~ Mesa, AZ- As the Southwest continues to face prolonged drought and challenges with the Colorado River, the importance of using water wisely remains at the forefront for residents. To help educate and inspire individuals to make a difference, the Water - Use It Wisely Water Tower is on display at the Mesa Main Library until September.

The 16-foot display, made from 120 one-gallon jugs, provides a tangible representation of everyday water use and offers practical resources for residents to make water-wise choices in their own homes. The tower is located at 64 E. 1st St and is open for viewing during regular library hours.

One of the main areas where individuals can make a significant impact on water conservation is in outdoor usage. To assist with this, visitors can pick up a free copy of "Landscape Watering by the Numbers: A Guide for the Arizona Desert" at the display. This guide takes the guesswork out of landscape watering with simple, science-based techniques that promote healthier plants while also saving water and lowering utility bills. Additional resources on water conservation will also be available.
