Call all for action. Show students that they affect the world around them, and motivate
them to do one concrete action to help nature. Students take a piece of paper and work
individually. Everyone writes down one concrete thing that they will do to save water,
plus one thing that they found out about water that they will share with their family and friends.

STORAGE CONTAINERS WITH LID REDUCE CONTAMINATION OF THE WATER

STORAGE CONTAINERS WITHOUT LID ARE OPEN FOR CONTAMINATION OF THE WATER
DON’T PUT HANDS INTO STORAGE CONTAINER

KEEP ANIMALS AWAY FROM SAFE DRINKING WATER

Tips on storing water properly

• Store safe drinking water in clean containers.
• Clean container regularly with a small cap full of chlorine and a brush (being careful to rinse
all chlorine from container).
• Store safe drinking water in closed containers so that animals, bugs and mosquitoes don’t
have access to the water. Covered narrow mouthed containers are safest for storing water.
• Wash hands before collecting and carrying water.
• Don’t put hands or anything other than designated water spoons (ladle) into storage
container.
27 • Pour water from storage container into a separate smaller container as needed.
• Only use clean long-handled spoons to get safe drinking water out of the container.
• Keep water container off the floor and away from animals.
• Make sure there is no puddles of stagnant water anywhere inside or near the home. If there
are, use this water to water plants right away.
