World population and water
With more and more people in the world, more and more water is used. In fact, water use is growing more than twice as fast as the world’s population! As a result, getting good, clean water is becoming a problem in many places.
A lot of water is polluted and in many areas people have to walk a long way to get clean water for daily use. More than 3.4 million people die each year from drinking and washing with polluted water. So let’s do everything we can to stop the pollution and save water.
Choose a country or town which interests you. It could be your home town.
Decide the points of time you want to look at – for example, now, ten years ago and ten years from now.
Research the population of your place in those years. Write your notes carefully.
