Where Does Your Water Flow?
Only a small portion of the earth's water can be used for drinking. Most is salty sea water that we cannot drink. Other waters are polluted and unhealthy for us to use. How does water become polluted?
FUN FACT: Americans use 90 billion gallons of fresh water each day! |
When water runs through the garbage in landfills,
it becomes contaminated. Unless
it is properly contained, this watery substance, called leachate,
can find its way into rivers, lakes or oceans. |
