Water is the «life blood» of our earth. It is in every living thing. It is in the air. It runs through mountains and valleys. It forms lakes and oceans. Water is everywhere.

Nature has a great water system. Rain water finds its way to streams and rivers. Rivers lead to the oceans. At the mouth of a river fresh water joins the salt water of the ocean.

At the mouth of a river there are many important plants for animal life. Pollution destroys this life, however. We have to clean our streams and rivers. Man has to work with nature, not against it.
