• Divide students into small groups and assign them 2–3 questions each.

• Ask each group to present their answers and lead a short class discussion.

• Students can write short paragraphs on their reflections or prepare a mini presentation on one solution discussed in the video.

Group Discussion

2. How could wastewater reuse be encouraged in your own community?

3. What other water conservation strategies could governments promote to reduce water scarcity?
