We use water in factories, for washing, cooking food, drinking and growing crops.

Can you think of any other ways we use water?

Don't waste our water - be water wise!

• Take a shower instead of a bath. This uses half the amount of water.
   
• If you hear a tap dripping, turn it off!
   
• If you see a leak in a pipe, tell your parents. Then make sure they fix it!
   
• Use a bucket instead of a hose to clean the car or water the plants.
   
• Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. A running tap wastes 6 litres of water every minute.
   
• Use a basin to wash vegetables instead of under a running tap. Then you can use that water to feed the plants!

These are just a few ideas Eco Eric and I thought of to help save water. Don't be afraid add your own as well!

Be water wise. Spread the word on how to save our water!
