As more and more water vapour is added into these clouds, the water droplets

become bigger and heavier. ey become so heavy that the air in the atmosphere
can no longer hold them up in the sky. Finally, these droplets fall down in the

form of rain. e changing of water into water vapour from di erent sources
and again changing into liquid is called the Water Cycle. It continuously goes
on in nature.

CONSERVATION OF WATER

We can save water in the following ways:

 Turn o the tap a er use.

 Get leaking taps repaired as soon as possible.

 Do not leave the tap running while brushing
teeth or washing your face or hands.

 Use a bucket and a mug to have a bath instead

of a shower.

 Water used to wash vegetables and fruits should be re-used to water the
potted plants.

 Do not throw the water le in your bottle but pour it over some plants.

AT ONE GO

 Air is a mixture of many gases..
 Air is colourless, tasteless and has no smell. So we cannot see it.

 Water is found in three different forms — liquid, solid and gas.
 The water cycle is a continuous cycle of changing one form of water into the other.
 We should save water because life is impossible without it.
