salt from the clean drinking water.

Hello! I am a water droplet and I have been through it all and I would like to share with you all the things that I go through. The water cycle begins when my friends and I are in a liquid state, we then evaporate into our gaseous state as water vapour and reach the sky, where we turn into clouds! When there are too many of us, we condense and drop out of the sky as water droplets, and that’s how you get rain! Then, the cycle goes on over and over again. But if the surrounding is cold enough, we will turn into ice and be in a solid state. 

Now, I would like to share with you the factors affecting the rate of evaporation: wind, temperature of the surrounding and exposed surface area. Water is very important for life processes such as movement, respiration, growth, reproduction, excretion and nutrition as water is directly involved in many chemical reactions to build and break down important components of the cell. Humans need to conserve water as conserving water saves energy. Energy is needed to filter, heat and pump water to your home, so reducing your water use also reduces your carbon footprint. Using less water keeps more in our ecosystems and helps to keep wetland habitats topped up for animals like otters, water voles, herons and fish.

It has been wonderful to be your guide to my life and the other things I’ve talked about today!
