In America, we take for granted some important essentials that make our life easy in comparison to other countries.

For example, clean drinking water. Imagine if you couldn't just turn on the tap. There would be no tea, no coffee, no pasta--no showers!! Well, it would be a lot of work to have these things that right now are at our fingertips.

Take a look at some interesting sites about water and water conservation:
