Water is very important for our lives. We drink water when we are thirsty. We clean ourselves and wash our clothes with water. Plants and animals need water every day.
The oceans cover 2/3 of the Earth, but ocean water is salty. That is to say, most of the water in the world is not drinkable!
90% of the water on the Earth that human beings can drink right now is underground. We dig wells in the ground to get water. But people are polluting groundwater every day. They put paint, oil and other chemicals into the ground.
We can also get water from lakes, rivers and reservoirs (水库). The water in them comes from rain. But in some places there is little rain. For example, this year it has not rained for more than 250 days in the south-west of China. It is very dry there. People and animals there are having a hard time. They don’t have enough water to drink. Plants are dying because of lack of water.
Water is very precious. Please don’t waste water. Don’t leave the water running while you brush your teeth. Try not to wash dishes under a running tap. Take a shower instead of taking a bath.
