Look around you – there is water everywhere! This is a chance to think about where and why and how we could reduce our usage.
Different Uses
Take photos, or draw pictures, of all the different ways people use water. In addition, draw or photograph all the places you can find it in your home or local area.
For instance: as a drink; a running bath tap; a pond; a swimming pool; a garden hosepipe; the sea; a shower; a well; a puddle etc. Once you start you will see how many places it can be found and used in our environment!
Where Does it Come From?
How did the water come to be where it is? What is it being used for now? Can you imagine how each of these situations and scenes would be different if there was a shortage of water?
