Also I learnt that when I told them about the importance of water and how life would possibly be if it finished, compelled them to think about their water usage and consumption patterns. It helped me also to learn a few things about water: 1) Recycling water helps and will help in the long run 2) Turning off the water conserves water. 3) We should use full load in dishwashers and even washing machines for that matter. 4) Dripping taps should be fixed.
