Oases

There are many places on

earth where there is almost
no water. In deserts it
doesnt rain for years so life
is possible in only few places
which are called oases .
Millions of years ago, when
deserts were savanahs
water from rains was
accummulated in huge
underground basins and now
it comes out under the form
of springs or it is pumped
out by people. So, there is a
lot of vegetation and people
can live there but nobody
knows how long it takes for
the underground water to
run out.

Even if water is
water

essential for our life it

can cause a lot of
serious problems.
Due to climate
changes wild weather
affects more and
more peoples lives.
Heavy rains cause
the flooding of towns
and villages due to
deforestation and
many people lose
their possessions
and even their lives.

those that were cut.

How can we
protect water?

Water is, as I
mentioned above,
essential to our lives
but we often take it
for granted and over
use it.
We should spare
water by taking
shorter showers ,
using less water
when washing our
clothes or our cars.
At the same time we
should protect rivers
and lakes by keeping
them clean.
