REFLECTION QUESTIONWater Use Reusable BottlesWhat are some of the needs that water meets or benefits that water provides for you?
Ben Lee 11/29/2020 1:29 PMWater is not only used for consumption in our daily lives but it has other important functions. We use water for various other purposes such as for agriculture and health. We fully benefit from the uses of water and without access to water and clean water, humans would greatly suffer. That is why it is important to find sustainable ways to conserve and use water.
