A ground-breaking global introduction to water, that includes actions note on sharing and protecting freshwater worldwide.
Water is life! Freshwater bubbles, flows, and floods with the most wonderful life on Earth - and all of us rely on it to stay alive. But today, because of pollution and climate change, it is becoming more and more difficult for people and animals to find the clean freshwater they need to survive. It's time to act!
Water tells the story of freshwater around the world: discover the history of water, how the water cycle works, learn about the different kinds of water and about the amazing variety of wildlife that freshwater is home to. Then find out what happens to water because of climate change and global heating; the importance of clean water for health; the worlwide problem of water pollution; and the devastating impact of water shortage on children's lives and education. Catherine Barr challenges us to take action, to use water wisely, and protect freshwater to save our planet. Endorsed by Frank Water, the British-based international clean water charity, and fact-checked by Peter Newborn, Senior Research Associate with the Climate and Sustainability Programme of think thank ODI (Overseas Development Institute), Water also covers all the requirements of water as a topic in Key Stage 1 and 2.
