RE: An introduction to Water -- Properties, importance, and the distribution of water
The water is common everywhere, but it has some interesting properties. Some of us take it for granted when we open a faucet and the water runs out, clean and safe, for our consumption. Somewhere in our continent, a child will have to trek 20KM to get 10 litres of water; which is twice what we waste when we leave the showers running for about two minutes.
Awesome contribution. Cheers
wow. that's some interesting fact. I once listened to a TEDx talk by Marla Smith Nilson about how a group of settlers in Africa would trek 4 hours to get water each day. Sad thing was, the water source was just a pond, shared between animals directly. Convenient? No, Clean, No! Suffcient to take home? No.
For those who waste it, well, i suppose Surplus breeds abuse
