Reduce my water
The ways I can reduce my water foot print are that I could use a low-flow shower head, and I could save 15 gallons of water during a 10m shower
Secondly I could not leave the water running while I brush my teeth
Thirdly I could reduce my showering time. I usually take up to 15 to 20m to take a shower. A shower uses 20L of water per minute, so in total have used 300L of water just to take a shower.
What is the moral lesson in the story; who owns water?
I think that the lesson of the story is that, water belongs to all and that everyone is a part of it. We should share water and be kind and peaceful to each other, because if it wasn’t for the little bird, the wild boar and the dogs this hole wouldn't have existed. And it is not fair for someone to come and take something that they don't need, for example the rich farmer said that it was his land and that the hole with water belonged to him. But did he really need to take the water? Not even the poor farmer should say the water is his because what about the animals. In conclusion i strongly believe that water should be shared.
Ethiopia Moves Forward with Massive Nile Dam Project" from the National Geographic April 2010 issue
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2011/07/110713-/ethiopia-south-sudan-nile-dam-river-water/
The dam is going to be a very big project for Ethiopia. The dam will bring good and bad for Ethiopia and other countries in Africa. The dam will provide a great amount of Hydro electricity. But it will have a great amount of effect on the environment and countries in Africa. The River Nile will flood and lots of people will lose their homes. But the water level does not only affect humans, but wild life. Hippopotamus crocodiles, and migrant waterfowl, will all be affected because of the dam, in the Nile. A solution to this would be to not built the dam. Or maybe built the dam in a safer place, that would not cause so much danger for animals and humans.
The dragons pearl
http://waterstories.tulikabooks.com/?page_id=27
The lesson in this story is that, water is everything, water is life and no one owns water. The boy swallowed the pearl so that the man wouldn’t have it because he knew that the man would be greedy and have the pearl all for himself. The boy couldn’t allow that and so he gave everything even his life to save the pearl. Because he knew that that pearl could save his community.
What responsibility do humans have to earths water?
we are the reason why our water today is not clean and, drinkable to allot of people and animals. There are lots of reasons but this is main reason why we are responsible for the water on our earth. We pollute our water with chemicals and garbage. We might not directly throw the garbage in the water, but just by throwing a plastic bottle to the ground, could harm our waters. Most of the garbage travels by wind and most of the time the garbage makes its way to rivers and oceans. We are responsible for every animals heart that stops beating because that animal is drowning in our plastic, it dies for a reason, and no this time a predator doesn’t kill it, but we do, for no good reason. But no were not only responsible for killing the animals in the rivers and oceans. We are killing ourselves too. Some of us can afford clean water. But in the third world countries some people cant afford clean water. They drink the dirty polluted water. Its our responsibility the water is not what it used to be, its polluted. We are the ones that took and hardily gave back to nature and our waters. Now its time to act.
