The Essence of Conservation: The Importance of Saving Water

Water is the essence of life and covers more than 71% of the earth's surface. Despite this abundance, only 3% is fresh water, accessible for human use. Therefore, the importance of saving water cannot be overemphasized.

Firstly, conserving water preserves this precious resource for future generations. As the global population grows, so does the demand for water. By using water wisely today, we ensure there will be enough for our children and grandchildren. Secondly, saving water is vital for environmental sustainability. Water scarcity disrupts ecosystems, threatening aquatic life and biodiversity. Conserving water preserves natural habitats and maintains the delicate balance of our planet's ecosystems. Additionally, saving water leads to economic benefits. Efficient water use reduces water bills, saving households and businesses money. Industries that depend on water, such as agriculture, also benefit from conservation efforts, ensuring stable economies and food security. Lastly, water conservation is essential in the face of climate change. Changing weather patterns and prolonged droughts emphasize the need for responsible water use. By saving water, we mitigate the impact of climate change on water supplies.

In conclusion, saving water is not just a choice; it is a responsibility. It ensures a sustainable future, protects the environment, boosts economies, and mitigates the effects of climate change. Every drop saved today is an investment in a better tomorrow.

English Project: "Preserving the Flow: A Water Conservation Crusade"

It was 2046 when all the news around the world brought up an alert of water scarcity. 

“The rivers are dry, the oceans are just a memory and humanity gets by for survival" ,said my lab partner Mel worried.

“This was going to happen, I knew it long time ago, so what if we developed a machine capable of open a portal at any time?, and we get the best team to take on a crucial mission to the past, to 2020, to save the water?”, I said to Mel and she just agreed.

Therefore, that's how we put together the best people for this mission. The team consisted of Karla, a talented engineer; Malena, a brilliant scientist; Cristhian, an astute strategist; Gabriela, a technology expert; Daniela, a passionate biologist; and Alejandro, a skilled communicator. In addition, giving them a specific task to carry out before entering the portal.

Moreover, drew up a simple goal: to convince the people of 2020 to keep up water safety. But making sure not to alter the past in a big way as any small change could affect our present catastrophically. Cautiously, we infiltrated the society of 2020, looking for ways to look forward to the importance of water.

Thus, Karla uses her knowledge to improve water filtration and purification systems, showing 2020 scientists how to make technologies more efficient. Malena educates students about the water crisis, inspiring future generations. Cristhian and Gabriela hack databases to find irrefutable evidence of the devastating impact that lack of water will have in the future. Daniela creates sustainable gardens, demonstrating how every drop counts, while Alejandro uses his gift of the spoken word to mobilize entire communities.

In this way, working together, we brought about a change in people's mentality. The citizens of 2020 find out to appreciate water differently, understanding it as a finite and valuable resource.

Finally, we returned to 2046. Mel welcomed us.

“They did it! You saved our world, you did an incredible job in unity and determination”, she said, smiling. I nodded, feeling a deep satisfaction for our shared victory.

“In short, our world has changed. Brought about, the rivers are flowing again, the oceans are overflowing with life, and humanity is learning to live in harmony with nature. Thanks to you, getting over the water scarcity.”, I said with shining eyes and in gratitude for their hard work. 

This being the end of our journey.

How I saved water yesterday?

I didn't really do anything special, I spent the day at home doing nothing considering that my biggest water saving was bathing in a short period of time.
