Today we will be unpacking the significance of preserving water. Climate change is a threat to the sustainability of water supply furthermore temperatures continue to increase globally thus causing water to evaporate at a high rate. According to a Green Peace report of 2012, South Africa has insufficient and unreliable rainfall. The country has a mean annual precipitation average of 464 mm/year which is 54% less than the global average of 860mm/per year. American scientist and inventor, Benjamin Franklin once said, “When the well’s dry, we know the worth of water.” Does it have to get to the point here there is little to no water for people to understand the importance of saving water and playing an active role in saving it.
