Water by Owen Caleb
Water Water is renewable from the water cycle Water is used for power We use water for drinking We use water for gardening We use water for washing cars and dishes
Water Cycle We get energy from falling water –reservoirs Through pipes Pump out of the ground Turbines make energy from water
Community impact Hydroelectric power uses the kinetic energy of moving water Hydroelectricity reservoirs destroy wildlife habitat The dams also damage freshwater ecosystems by blocking the movement of fish and other organisms
Community Animals use water to wash themselves off, same as humans do Everybody drinks water When communities use water for electricity from the reservoirs it destroys habitats and when they build the dams it pollutes the air
