Summer Fun Facts

Check out some Fun Facts about Summer and Water

*Watermelon is actually a VEGETABLE! It is from the botanical family Cucurbitaceae and is most closely related to cucumbers, pumpkins and squash. The watermelon is composed of 92% water and early explorers often use hollowed out watermelons as canteens. The average person eats 15 lbs of watermelon per year in the US. (scroll down to the end of the blog for Diane's recipe of yummy watermelon salsa!)

*The average American eats around 5 1/2 gallons of ice cream a year.  July is the National Ice Cream month because it is the month the most ice cream is sold.

*A cricket’s chirp frequency fluctuates with temperature. What does this mean? You can tell the temperature (in Fahrenheit) by counting the number of times a cricket chirps in 15 seconds. Just add 37 to whatever number you reach and there you go,  you have an approximate outside temp!

*Traditionally, The Dog Days of Summer are the 40 days from July 3rd to August 11th.
Somewhere between 70 and 75 percent of the earth’s surface is covered with water.

*Much more fresh water is stored under the ground in aquifers than on the earth’s surface

*The United States uses about 346,000 million gallons of fresh water every day


*By the time a person feels thirsty, his or her body has lost over 1 percent of its total water amount.


*A healthy person can drink about three gallons (48 cups) of water per day

If any of this water happens to intrude upon your home, office or building, call 3-D to the rescue.
