WATER IS LIFE!

We Need Water
We need to drink water to stay healthy. When we don't have enough water
to drink, we become very sick. We can live without food for a long time,
but if we don't drink for three days, we die. What else do we need water
for? Let's make a list: cooking, washing, clothes, washing dishes, brushing
teeth bathing and yes flushing the toilet. Farms and factories use a lot of
water to grow food and to create things that make our lives comfortable.
We need a lot of water!

How Much Do We Have?

Earth is a water planet. Seventy percent (70%) of Earth is covered by
water. Because there is so much water, it is easy to believe that we will
always have as much water as we want. But this is not true. We have very
little water to use.

The fact is that most of the water on Earth -97%-is salt water. We can't
drink it. We can't even use it to water plants that we grow for food. The
other 3% of water on Earth is fresh water. However, we can only drink 1%
of it. The other 2% is very difficult to get to. Imagine that all the fresh
water on Earth-3%-fills five large bottles. The water that we can drink
would fill only two teaspoons.

We Waste It and We Pollute It

We waste the "two teaspoons" of water that we have. We also pollute it.
Many factories put chemicals into the water. In some places, the water
becomes so polluted that the fish and the plants die. Even our rainwater
becomes polluted. We need water to live. Let's keep it clean.
