Naturally, we like to celebrate water all year round — and there are lots of great opportunities to do so.

It’s mid-December. Fun and festive holiday gatherings are just around the corner. But those aren’t the only things heading our way; for many parts of the country, cold and wintry weather looms ahead.

For many of us in the United States, life without water isn’t something we think about. From the moment we wake up, it’s simply there — that first trip to the bathroom, that morning shower, that piping hot cup of coffee.
