Water Resources and Conservation

Water is only for rich people

Water is a shared resource that must be saved

Water is endless and can be wasted

Rainwater is dirty and useless

A map

Drinking water

A camel ride

New clothes

They were in different cities

They were at different levels and connected by channels

They were all the same size

They were connected by underground pipes made of plastic

Excessive rain

Neglect and garbage dumping

Planting too many trees

Using them for schools

Water should only be stored in plastic bottles

Rainwater is a precious resource that should be collected and conserved

Lakes are only meant for decorative purposes in parks

Ancient methods were completely useless and should be forgotten

Only the King himself

The travelers who used them

Wealthy merchants or local community leaders as an act of charity

Soldiers who were on duty at the borders

Water was pumped back into the clouds

Excess water from one lake flowed into the next lower lake through a channel

The walls of the lake were made of sponges to absorb extra water

Villagers used large fans to dry the extra water

The water table remains the same

It recharges the groundwater over a much larger area due to the spread of the lakes

It causes the groundwater to become salty

It dries out the groundwater faster

To let the water breathe

To allow birds and small animals to drink without falling into the deep water

To act as handles for people to climb the walls

To let the light pass through to the other side

Modern houses are too small to have water

Modern houses rely on distant rivers and pipes, whereas ancient houses had local rainwater harvesting systems

Ancient houses used magic to create water

People in modern houses drink more water than people in the past

Because it only happens in summer

Because it repeats the same steps over and over

Because water moves in a circle on the ground

Because it involves bicycles

Ocean water

Sea water

River water

Dead Sea water

Planting trees near rivers

Throwing plastic and garbage into lakes

Harvesting rainwater

Building dams

Most of Earth's water is in the form of clouds.

Most of Earth's water is salty or frozen and not easily usable.

Water is disappearing into space every day.

The water cycle will stop if we use too much.

Water that is salty and found in oceans.

Water that is contaminated with chemicals.

Water that is safe for drinking and food preparation.

Water that has been frozen into ice.

Precipitation

Evaporation

Condensation

Transpiration

Building more roads to transport water from other cities.

Deepening all the wells so they can reach the very bottom of the aquifer.

Implementing mandatory rainwater harvesting and reviving local water bodies to recharge groundwater.

Covering all the lakes with plastic to stop evaporation.

The water evaporates too quickly to be useful.

Without roots to hold the soil and slow the water, surface runoff increases, causing erosion.

The soil turns into water due to the high pressure of the rain.

The plants are not there to drink the water, so the water disappears.

Because it only happens in circular clouds.

Because the water molecules move in a continuous loop and are recycled over and over.

Because it takes exactly 24 hours to complete.

Because it only happens on a planet that is a circle.

Glaciers are growing larger

Glaciers are melting rapidly

Glaciers are turning into salt

Glaciers are staying the same

Dumping water in the sea

Treating wastewater and using it in factories again

Drinking water directly from a river

Letting water evaporate from a bowl

They will grow taller

They will wilt and eventually die

They will produce more fruits

They will turn blue

Johad

Pump

Canal

Pipeline

Using a bucket instead of a shower

Using treated sewage water for cooling in factories

Using the water from an air conditioner for plants

Collecting rainwater in a tank

Lack of clouds

Poor management and pollution of existing water

Excessive evaporation from the soil

High salt content in rain water

Sprinklers use more water to keep the grass greener

Sprinklers distribute water more evenly and prevent wastage

Hose pipes are too heavy to carry

Sprinklers turn the water into steam

To bring more water to the surface for evaporation.

To prevent waterlogging, which can ruin crops and lead to the loss of usable water and land.

To make the soil harder so tractors can move faster.

To allow the roots of the plants to get more sunlight.

They are groups of people who celebrate the monsoon with dances.

They are community-led groups that manage and distribute water resources equitably among villagers.

They are government officials who sell water bottles.

They are scientists who study the chemistry of rain.

Water that is stored in a pot.

Water that is safe to drink and for food preparation.

Water that can be used to generate power.

Water that is found in the polar ice caps.
