What happens when you turn on a tap? Or the washing machine, shower
or garden hose? Water flows! Most of us use water all day, every
day, without thinking about it. But how does it get to our homes?
Water is one of the most amazing resources that we use in abundance
and have come to rely on heavily. It is used in all sorts of
household chores, leisure activities and in work and industry. From
the pitter-patter of raindrops to the whoosh of water from the
shower, we follow the journey from the source to the resource. We
begin by looking at what water is and where it comes from, and the
all-important water cycle. We then look at how water is stored and
treated ready to be pumped around the country and into our homes.
Finally we consider the environmental impact of our water use and
what we can do to use less water in our daily lives. We also look
at how people live in places that do not have a reliable water
supply and methods that can be used to clean water that is in short
supply. Other titles in the Source to Resource series include: From
Field to Plate From Oil Rig to Petrol Pump From Sunshine to Light
Bulb
