Water A Precious Gift: the Chapter Story
A short read for Class 3 before you play. These notes are written for this page and are not copied from the textbook.
🌧 Watching the rain
Children watch rain fall and notice the size of the drops, the slant of the rain and the puddles it leaves. Rain is a gift that fills many of our water sources.
🌊 Where does the rainwater go?
Some rainwater soaks into the soil and is stored underground as groundwater. Streams carry the rest to rivers, and ponds, lakes and the sea also fill up.
🚰 Water reaches our homes
Surya and Barkha follow the pipes at home and find a tank on the roof. Water can also come from wells, borewells, tankers or a river nearby.
🏺 Storing water
When the society pipeline bursts, the family uses the water they stored in vessels. Vessels can be made of clay, metal, glass or plastic.
♻ Every drop counts
We can reduce and reuse water, use waste water for plants and never waste a drop. Many people also offer clean water to visitors and keep pots of water outside their homes for thirsty passers-by.
🐦 A birdbath
A shallow dish of clean water with stones helps birds drink and cool down in summer. Change the water often and keep it clean.
