Do you often hear people say, “save our earth, save water” or “use water
wisely”?
Our Earth consisted of about 70% of water and 30% of land. Yes, we have lots
of water in our planet. Hmm… What is happening? We have much water but we have
to use it less.
What is Water?
What is water actually? Water is a chemical substances with chemical formula
H2O. The word water is usually refers to its liquid state. We use to
drink plain water, take a bath using water, and rain drops water to the Earth.
Water has three state; liquid, solid and gas. Ice is the solid state and water
vapour or steam is the gas state of water.
Why We Conserve Water?
If water is constantly being cleaned and recycled through the earth’s water
cycle, why do we need to conserve it? The answer is that people use up our
planet’s fresh water faster than it can naturally be replenished. Fresh drinking
water makes up just one percent of the Earth.
Most of us use lots of water everyday more than they actually need. These are
several activities that people do using water, and tips to use water wisely.
Bathroom Activities.
More than half the water we use every day is in the bathroom.
- Your daily
eight-minute shower uses about 20 gallons of water. So, take a shower only 5
minutes or less.
- 20 gallons is used to flush the toilet. More water goes if
your toilet is leaks. Up grade your toilet to saver one and always check it for
leaks.
Washing Machine
You waste water when you use
washing machine to wash only several clothes. Use it only when it full.
Washing Hands and Cleaning Teeth
Close the tap
when cleaning your teeth or washing your hands. We do many other activities using fresh water. We lost not only water but
also energy, because water can produce energy. Let’s save our Earth water.
