  3. It is powerful and important… I am the raindrops falling from the sky and dripping into puddles. I am the water coming from the sprinkler where children play. I am the water running from your faucet when you take a cool drink. I am the water spraying from your hose when you water your crops. I am the water that lets you swim, laugh and play. I am the water that cleanses and refreshes you. I am the water that gives you life. Nicole Wolfgram Neenah, WI USA

  4. It’s Global “The Water is Life is a popular saying in my country” -Tamilla Nematova Baku Azerbaijan

  5. Sometimes it’s easy… People in our community can get their water from their own personal well, which is an underground well in their yard…People do not have to pay for water; the town will supply you with water if you do not have a well. -Jamie (Perth-Andover, NB) The St. John River in Perth-Andover, NB CAN Photo from www.perth-andover.com, submitted by Ann Marie Berry Wattie

  6. The Lucky Ones… We are lucky that we get water from sinks and taps. Some people have to go outside to get their water. We have purifiers and wells. Some people have to boil their water before they can drink or cook. -Jarret (Perth-Andover CAN)

  7. Others have to work for it… Women at the village well in Lake Atitlan Village, Guatemala Alexander,Anne. lakeatitlanvillage.jpg. 1985. Pics4Learning. 6 Dec 2007 <http://pics.tech4learning.com>

  11. It is LIFE After years of war and governmental neglect ruined the water of Lake Tanganyika in Fizi (Democratic Republic of Congo), many people died from a Cholera epidemic. Now clean water is being piped down from the hills surrounding the towns on the coast of the polluted lake, thanks to the work of charitable organizations, including Unicef and Acted.org(Harneis,flickr.com).

  12. To whom does it belong? Water Well Rain is falling From the clouds. It lands on the ground, Slowly sinking. Earth’s dirt is a filter. The deeper the rain goes, The cleaner it gets. It has gone so deep That it is in Earth’s well. It travels to my well and Runs up my pipes and Into my faucet. It trickles out, And I drink a cool glass. Lexie Hennen, Neenah, WI USA

  16. Water Maybe you don’t know how precious it is But we need it in order to live Water is a graceful thing If you listen closely, you may hear it sing The grace of water is blue and great So listen closely; it has something to say We all need water, the animals and us And for the last million years, there hasn’t been a fuss. So come closer, so you may hear: We need to protect what we hold most dear. The moral of this story that I have presented Is that water is something that must be protected! Rebeccah Vansyoc, Neenah, WI USA
