Part 3
Water Usage
Do you think people use more water today than they did before (e.g., 20 or 50 years ago)?
I think so. First of all, industrry is the largest user of water. We are now having more industries. Industry requires a great amount of water. So, more water is being used. The second largest user of water is domestic use. People use more, drink more, and most sadly, waste more.
Do you think it's important to try to save (conserve) water? (Why?)
It is of vital importance for human beings to save water. We need water – our lives depend on it. We all know that the world’s population is getting larger day by day. More water is being consumed. At the same time, there are many places on this world where people are suffering from lack of drinking water. Water is a precious resource. It is urgent to save water from being wasted.
How can people save water?
Water conservation has two aspects: one, use water efficiently so that there is enough for the needs of all living things; two, keep freshwater clean, so that it can continue to support life on Earth. As an ordinary citizen, I appreciate what my family does in saving water. We reuse used water. It’s simple. I’ve always believed that if every family devotes its own effort, water saving will no longer be a mission impossible.
