WATER
Why Do We Need Water?
Our kidneys need water.
Water is part of your personal electrical system which is necessary for life.
The joints between our bones need water.
This area keeps our bones from rubbing together.
What Happens When We Don't Get Enough Water?
Kidneys need water to get clean. Otherwise, Toxins build up inside us.
Without water, bones won't move smoothly because there is friction.
An uncharged electrical system will make us sluggish.
Where is Our Drinking Water Storage Supply?
In some places our drinking water is stored in a reservoir.
Snow melts and
fills reservoirs and aquifers.
Rain and snow fall and
fills reservoirs and aquifers
What Are Threats To Our Drinking Water?
We overuse water when we take out the water faster than our
aquifer or reservoir can get refilled.
When it doesn't rain over a long period of time
the aquifers and lakes can't get refilled.
There is salt water in the ocean and fresh water in the aquifer.
If water levels get too low then salt water gets in. We can't drink salt water.
We get our water from
drinking water.

Water is a clear, odorless, tasteless liquid that freezes at 32 degrees F (0 degrees C)
and boils at 212 degrees F (100 degrees C). We can't live without it!

In some places our drinking water
is stored in underground aquifers.
