WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE…
1. Imagine а world with no drinking water, and no water to wash or
cook with. It’s hard to imagine this, because we use water every day
without even thinking about it. Yet there are terrible water shortages all
over the world. In parts of Africa or China, for example, many people
don’t even have clean water to drink. In fact, over half of the people in the
world have to live with water shortages every day. We all need water –
not just for our homes and factories, but to survive. Fortunately there are
things that we can all do to save water.
2. The solution begins at home. We can save the water from our
baths and use it for the garden, instead of wasting hundreds of liters of
clean water on our lawns and plants. This would help to save many liters
of water everyday, especially in the summer.
3. Governments can help by passing laws to stop factories from
wasting and polluting water. If factories recycled water and stopped
pouring chemicals into our lakes and rivers, there would be a lot more
clean water around.
