Water is a precious resource necessary for human survival. Without this resource, life would be impossible. Water is used in many aspects of our daily lives: from drinking to washing, as well as in agriculture and industries. While water is renewable, as it is replaced naturally through the hydrological cycle, it is unevenly distributed in the physical environment. The availability of water can be threatened by events of extended rainfall or droughts, as well as through the contamination of water stores from improper use. To ensure the long-term availability of water to support the natural ecosystem and human lives, sustainable solutions are needed to manage this vital resource.

Through this study, students will learn how to:

• be responsible users of water; and

• show care for the people and environments affected by water pollution.
