Reading today

Pg38. Why is water usage into the future going to be of greater concern?
Because lots of people are using more water than they should

Pg 39. 'Maybe the water you used to brush your teeth this morning was once drunk by a dinosaur.' This illustrates the hydrological cycle where water continuously moves around the different aspects of the water cycle. What is one thing you know about underground water supply?

I think farmers should pay some money for the water they use because they use a fair bit and it would help out a lot to recycle water.
