Introduction :
Would our lives be the same without water? A glass of water in the morning helps us flush out waste from our body. Water keeps us healthy and the grass green.
How much water does a person use? Almost 100 gallons a day! We use water to wash hands, grow all our food, cook, and flush the toilet, etc.; however, less than 3 percent of Earth’s water is fresh, and nearly all of it comes from rain. Water is a precious gift, all living things could not live without it.
Through lively illustrations and simple words, this book not only tells children where water comes from but also how important water is for all living beings.

一個人需要多少水?每人每天幾乎要用到一百加侖的水!我們使用水來洗手、灌溉作物、烹飪、沖馬桶等等,但是地球上只有不到百分之三的水是乾淨的,而幾乎所有的水都來自雨水。水是大地萬物都不可或缺的珍寶,沒有水生物就無法生存。
