I WONDER - Why Is It Important Not To Waste Water?

The video explains that water on Earth is part of a cycle, making it a renewable resource. However, only 1% of Earth's water is drinkable, so it's important not to waste it. Wasting water delays its return as rain and its processing for use, which can negatively impact the planet. Water on Earth's surface and in oceans absorbs heat, so less water can lead to a warmer Earth.

What happens to water after it is wasted?

• It evaporates immediately

• It takes a while to be processed back into usable water

• It becomes polluted

• It disappears completely

Explain the relationship between water availability and the Earth's temperature.
