Water is the most important thing for all living things on earth. It is also important to know where we get our water from and whether it is clean or not. As we know the water in the Gobi is mostly from underground wells and its resources are in danger of being depleted. Therefore, we need to use water wisely.
Exercise:
- Lets calculate how much water we use per day or per week. This is a very simple calculation.
- Ask yourself or a family member how often they go to the well to fetch water and what kind of container they use.
