Every Drop Counts

Overview

The mission of the Every Drop Counts program by the Town of Boone is to educate, inform and assist the public in all aspects of water conservation and to support a philosophy of managing the environment in a manner that does not exhaust or extinguish water, our most precious natural resource.

Principles of Water as a Resource

The key principles of water as a natural resource are simple:

1. Access to water is a basic human right
2. It is a finite, degradable and irreplaceable resource
3. The availability of fresh water is subject to nature’s laws
