Water Re-UseWastewater from households is carried away in two ways. One,stormwater drains takes untreated water directly to our waterwaysand oceans. Two, all water that goes down the plughole or flusheddown the toilet is sewage that ends up in treatment plants. Here it istreated and then pumped into the ocean or recycled.The many millions of litres of precious water we use are released back into nature to jointhe water cycle again. We have to make sure that we are not polluting our waterways andour oceans.Some of this treated water is re-used. Write a report recording your findings of how andwhere water is re-used in your local area. Also include in this report if water can be reusedin households again and if we don’t, is it safe for the aquatic life in our waterways?65
