Water worries

Water worries

Water wastage is where we run out of water, how? You ask. Well, let's just start at the very beginning. There is a dinosaur drinking his water then soon after… oops he needs to go. The pee comes out and is laying on the ground, it is a hot summer day and all of the heat from the sun makes the pee evaporate into clouds and it leaves behind all of the salts from the pee. Then it rains dinosaur pee but don’t worry it's just water!

Now let's get to the important part. All water comes from everywhere the sea, lakes, rivers, and THE SKY!! But in New Zealand after the Christchurch earthquake we were running out of water, even though the world's water stays the same amount no matter what. The earthquake caused a drought which meant everyone had to try to save the water that was left. Each year our water wastage increases. The water cycle takes a big part in water worries. If the temperature isn’t right not enough water precipitates and it ends up people not having enough water and having to reduce it.

One big reason why we run out of our water is because of the farms. Lots of farms have many cows and many cows need lots of water. Also lots of cows need lots of grass which grass isn't exactly water but farmers need to put fertilizer into the grass for the cows. After that, it gets washed out then ends up into rivers, lakes, and the sea. Obviously, we can’t drink fertilized grassy water.

Hopefully this has changed your mind or at least made it understand that we need to reduce the amount of water we use and try to make a difference in keeping our water nice and clean for the sake of us staying alive. Also I hope this educated your brain a little bit also.
