Webquest Introduction

How much water do you use each day?

Where does that water come from and what do you use it for?

What would you do if the only place to get your water was a dirty, smelly river?

In this webquest you'll take on different roles to explore these questions. Wonder what the scientist and the conservationist will have to say?

Did you know that over 1 billion people in our world don't have safe water?

Did you know that 3 children die every minute from diseases that come from dirty water?

Can you imagine having to walk 4 miles every day to get water and carrying it home in jugs?

We'll learn about the “world water crisis” from our volunteers – one who works in villages in Africa and another in the USA who works with a group called Water Mission.

Water Mission seems to be doing a good job of educating adults about the world water crisis BUT they really think that children are an important part of the answer to our world problems. Who better than children to help Water Mission learn how to spread the word to today's children about the water crisis? That's why they have asked you to be part of the Water Mission Team! Are you up for the challenge? You can make a DIFFERENCE!
