WATER CONSERVATION
Are you a water saver or are you a Water Wally? We have water restrictions in Wodonga because Australia is the driest conteinent and has less water than any country in the world.
One way to save water is to purchase a water tank. Second way to save water is to have shorter showers and the last way to save water is to reuse water from your bathroom or washing maching.

Do you save water or are you a water Wally? Do you like having hot long showers? If you do you should listen to this. Having long showers wastes a lot of water because…
every second you waste at least a puddle of water and it might not seem like a big deal but did you know we have only 3% of fresh water in the world.
And a another way to save water is to use bath water to water your plants instead of using fresh unused clean water.

Are you a Water Wally or a water saver? This term we have been learning about saving water. It is important to save water because we are in a drought and we are in threat of losing our country to global warming.
One way you can save water is by recyling water like when you finish in the bath, you bucket the water to the garden. You are saving water because you are using it twice.
Another way to save water is to have a four minute shower instead of a ten minute shower. You save water when you keep your showers short because you don’t use as much water and clean water doesn’t go down the drain.
You could also save water by having a water tank. A water tank catches water from the roof or shed when it rains and stores it until you need it for the garden.
Remember saving water is important.

Do you save water or are you a water waster? Do you think you are good water saver? How long do you have a shower? Does your Mum have long showers?
True fact. Australia is the driest contienent the world. I guess you should get a water tank because it saves water by catching water from the rain you can use that water by flushing your toilet and washing your clothes.
Also get a tap timer so when you water your plants, you won’t accidently leave the tap going and wasting water.
Get a pipe running from your washing machine to the garden (which is called grey water) to save even more water because otherwise the water is only used once.
There are many ways to save water in our country. What are the ways that you save water?

Are you are a water saver or awater waster? I’m a water saver! If anybody in your house including you take long showers you might be a water wally! Some ways you can save water is by taking two minute showers and when you have a bath don’t pull the pluge get a bucket and put the water in it then take the bucket and tip the water in the garden! This is called Gray water because you are reusing the water from the bath or washing machine. Did you know that Austraila is the driest contienet in the world! So remember if your a water wally you better change to a water saver!

You should save water and not waste water. Do not be a water wally. If the taps ar leaking put a bucket under it so it stops. You should have at lest 3 minutes in the shower. How many min do you have in the shower.

Do you save water? Or are you a Water Wally? I save water. When I brush my teeth I turn the water off. Do you? Another way you can save water is when you have a shower have a short one. It is as good as having a long one. Also to catch some of the water put a bucket in the shower then all the water that goes in the bucket you can use it on your garden.
There just some ways to save water so if your a water wally start saving!

Are you a water saver or a water Wally? I am a water saver. If you are a person that has about a five minute you are a water wally! Have a 2 minute shower. Insted of pulling the plug if you have just finished a bath, get a bucket and fill it up with water from the last bath and give it to the garden. If there is a leaking tap at your house put a bucket under it and give it to the garden when the bucket gets full.
Thats all the tips I can give you today. I hope you can do all these tips I gave you.

Thanks, Baylee

Are you a water saver or water wally? Today I’m going to give three tips on how to save water. First you could start by taking shorter showers that are as quick as lighting. Next you shouldn’t have the tap running while you brush your teeth because all of the water is just running down into all the pipes and thats wasting water. Last of all if you have enough money you could buy a water tank. Thank you for listening to my tips about how to save water.

Hello I am Chloe Hanlin and I am going to speak to you about saving water. One way to save water is to take shorter showers. Another way to save water is to use the same cup for about a day then you can put the cup in the sink. Make sure that when you wash the dishes instead of using a full sink of water fill the sink up half way. So tell EVERYBODY about these tips and be a water saver
