Water of ponds, lakes and rivers is not clean. So, it is not fit for

drinking. This water becomes dirty due to the following activities:

 Throwing garbage into water bodies.

 Washing clothes near water bodies.

 Bathing animals in water bodies.

We should always drink clean water. We should boil or filter
the water before drinking. Boiling of water kills germs present

in it.

Water filter

Nowadays, different types of water filters are used to purify

water. Do you have one at home?

Remember

 We need water.

 Animals and plants also need water.

 We should never throw garbage into water.

 We should always drink clean water.
