SAVING WATER!

by Hope #2

In science we learned that people use about 20-40 gallons of water per day. I was surprised that we use a lot of water. I think we should save water for many reasons. People don’t have access to water in other places. Also, in California we are having a drought. There are many easy ways to save water.

Many people around the world don’t  have access to water. Like for example in Africa and some other countries. According to water.org, if you add all the women and children all around the world it adds up with 140 million hours a day of collecting water. 1 in 9 people lack access to safe  water. This shows that people don’t have access to water around  the world, and that we should save water. In my science class we are trying to raise money to give water to people that don't have access to water.

In California we have a big drought which means that we don’t have that much rain. Farmers cannot grow their crops and lakes and rivers are low. So we all need to save water because farmers need to grow food for us to eat and they cannot  do it without water.

There are many easy ways to save water, like for example use shower water to flush or water plants.  Don’t run the faucet when washing dishes and hands, and save water by closing the faucet if not using. Because people are wasting too much water and it is bad for  the environment.

That is why we should save water whenever possible, to keep the environment healthy. When you take a long shower, remember how much water it used up.

In conclusion, I think we should save water because  people don't have access to water in other places and there are easy ways to save water.
