SA Water Incursion – Room 7

by | Mar 12, 2020

On Thursday 5th March, our class (along with all the Year 2 classes) enjoyed an incursion from SA Water. We learnt that water goes to the ‘waste water recycling plant’ when it goes down the drain, and that there is a desalination plant at Lonsdale which removes the salt from the water enabling us to drink it.

The importance of fresh water as a resource was a major part of this information session:

“We CAN’T make water”

We discussed how there are many ways that we can save fresh water including (but not limited to):

  • Turning off the taps when brushing our teeth
  • Having short showers – a maximum of 4 minutes which is timed from the moment the taps are turned on
  • Using the correct flush button on the toilet
  • Fixing leaking taps
  • Having rain water tanks for the toilet, showering, garden
  • Watering plants with a watering can
