How can we save
water?

Slide 7 - Mind map

Ways to save water:

- Lots of water is being unused. People need to retain the water behind large water dams. This way people can use it in times of need

- People need to use less water in their daily lives. This way we can distribute water more to places where people need water.

- Use dripping irrigation. With this method, less water will evaporate and it is more efficiently.
