                                        WATER SUSTAINABILITY 

 

Turning off water while brushing your teeth can save up to 4 gallons each minute. Taking shorter showers each minute will save you 5 gallons. Groundwater and water from marshlands is used to irrigate the fields .  In countries with a dry and hot climate this is especially problematic. Once pumped out of the ground the water doesn’t come back. Governments and societies need to change their attitudes towards water.Two thirds of the country's rivers in New Zealand are now too polluted to swim in.  Water gets polluted not just in our rivers and lakes but in our drinking water too. Sheep has been seeping through the polluted water and thousands of people got sick from it.There are three reasons why you can keep our water clean, don’t throw rubbish in the water,don’t throw rubbish in the water, use water wisely and don’t waste, keep the waterways clean so we can have fresh and healthy water. This is why you should keep our water clean and make sure to be mindful of water we drink and use for our health.
