The importance of saving water

Everybody knows that the water which goes into

our homes come from

underground pipes. If our land looked like the picture above, where would we get our water from?

From sea to pipe…

•Water rationing in the 1960s;

•It occurred for more than 300 days per year;

•Can only get water every three to four days,

•We are very lucky that we do not have to live in those conditions today;

•We should all be thankful that we have water.

Hong Kong -1960s

About 8 million people do not have access to clean water.

If we conserve water, there will be more clean water for everyone.
