Do you want to drink water from such a dirty river? If the water is not treated, meaning that the water is being drunk straightaway from the river, we will have stomachache and it will be very painful.
Thankfully for us, Singapore's reservoir is very clean. The water taken from the reservoir is clean. This is because the water is being treated. Treating water means that people add special chemicals to the water to make it clean by destroying bacteria and other harmful things.
Also, we must reduce our use of water. Imagine a world without water, you cannot go swimming with Mummy, Daddy and friends.
You have no clean water to drink.
We can save water by
#1. Turning off the tap when you are not using it.
#2. Use half flush instead of a full flush.
#3. Water used for washing rice can be used to water the plants, so do not just throw the water away.
This way, we can save our environment.
So please remember, we must save our environment because it is our home! (:
