Water Worries
What is water pollution?

Aquifer is an underground area in which groundwater collects from
What is the water cycle?
First the sun evaporates the water from oceans, rivers and lakes. Then some of the water rises into the air as vapour which then becomes into water droplets in clouds. Eventually, the colder temperatures affects the clouds forcing it to drop rain, hail or snow. Some of the dropped water, hail or snow makes its way back to the river or ocean. Doing the process over and over again.
What is the main issue that causes water shortage in New Zealand?
Though the water cycle allows waters around the world to never change in quantities and quality. The water usage amongst humans has impacted a huge amount of waters. The main issue of water shortage in New Zealand are mostly by farmers using it for crops, feeding cows (More population means more water needed) and waters that make contact with animal waste that then slides down into a river contaminating the whole river.
We are learning to plan our ideas to help identifying and reporting about the main ideas in text.
