Fresh water

Fresh water is the water that we drink, swim in, and use for other things like cooking and washing. It is different from saltwater, which is the water that fills the oceans and seas.

Freshwater comes from different sources like rivers, lakes, and underground wells. When it rains, the water falls and goes into the ground, filling up the underground aquifers. We can pump this water out of the ground and use it for drinking or irrigation.

Sometimes freshwater can be polluted, which means it has things in it that can be harmful to people and animals. That's why it's important for us to keep our sources of freshwater clean and not throw trash or chemicals into them.

Freshwater is a precious resource, and it's important to use it wisely. We should try to conserve water by turning off the faucet when we brush our teeth, taking shorter showers, and fixing leaky pipes. By taking care of our freshwater sources, we can make sure that we always have clean water to drink and use for many years to come.
