We drink water and we it in keep ourselves and belongings clean, We play in water and learn • to swim, .ilOaddle a canoe, saila boat, -Bet do We every ;stele to inquire jest how' much water coin - tributes to the riches of the earth, About three-quarters of the earth's surface is covered With salt water. In' addition we have springs, brooks, rivers, ponds and .lakes. Where the seas re- ceded we find salt which we use on our food, Fish is an nn- portant food' and a large in- dustry, Other preclude are pearls, Coral and sponges. Water is an important source of power, Falling ~water IS used to make electricity for .home and industry, Two of the world's greatest water falls aro Niagara Falls hi North Avner. lea and Victoria Falls in Africa, Water is very important to the growing of plants, '.I'he f ..rnier has devised different nme"tltbds of conserving water from rani, streams And ponds because ho knows that water is essential for a good liatvet. The flowers and trees in io'ut' Homes need Water, Water is a source of pleasure to some people and others have made it a source of wealth. Wherever you find a beautiful lake you will find a camp or a resort, Our great water System is also a highway, 64rany years ago it was used by explorers, Today it is used as trade routes and transportation. Water has certainly conttib, uted to the riches of the world. tt�"laih the dieting golitg?'t Miss L.
