Conserving water is important!

Today is World Water Day. It is a day co-ordinated by UNESCO, as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources. Each year, World Water Day highlights a specific aspect of freshwater and this year it is dedicated to the theme of cooperation around water.

Water is of course, essential to human life and easy and equitable access to clean water greatly improves everyone's living conditions. We know that in the dry season, sometimes our reservoirs run almost dry and we have to ration water. Then you are only able to get water every other day or only for a few hours. That can make it hard to bathe and clean and cook every day and you don't get to water your plants. So we all recognise that conserving water is very important.You should try to make a difference in your home too!


We are a part of the great World Water Day project organised by Mr Graffin's class at West Leederville Primary School in Perth, Australia. Click on the picture above to visit it and leave a stickie to share how you feel about water co-operation and water conservation! And don't forget to check out 'Save it, share it!', our amazingly informative video (above) featuring the really fun song written by our own SJCPOS Young Leaders!

  2. Hi students, from Australia. I think your song is just fabulous. Did you compose the melody or just the words! It is such a catchy song and the words and particularly the images really talk to about the importance of water. I live on a farm in south east Australia and this summer has been really hot and dry. We have two large water tanks for household water and some dams for our stock to drink our of. A bore helps provide water for the troughs in the other paddocks for our sheep and cattle.
    However, we normally have good rainfall and rarely have to worry about shortages of water. Your images really share how precious it is and to what extent some have to go to, to be able to use water.
    How reliable is your rainfall and water storage?

  4. I have to agree with Brenda and Murcha. The video song presentation is AWESOME! I just can't really get why some people waste water. Yes, we do have enough supply of water to use for our daily needs. However, in some countries water is a scarce resource. I do hope UNESCO will meet great success. I wish you all the best!
