It’s our duty to save water
The lack of water is one of the biggest problems in the world. Though water covers 70% of the earth’s surface, fresh water covers only 1% of the earth’s surface. As we all know, the water we use is the most important natural resource on the earth. We can’t live without water. The amount of water which is suitable for drink is less and less because of the water pollution. But some people don’t care about it. They waste a lot of water in their daily life. Even worse, they pour dirty water into rivers. They throw rubbish into rivers, too. Many rivers and lakes are seriously polluted. Something must be done to stop the pollution. Only in this way can we live happily. If we don’t save water, the last drop of water will be a teardrop of us.
