Our World of Water

Book excerpt: This children's book is the result of a competition run by the UK Drinking Water Inspectorate. Children submitted entries in the form of drawings, paintings, poems and stories which have been included in a book to assist children and teachers in learning more about water. Our World of Water which has a foreword written by Jacqueline Wilson, an eminent children's writer, is full of useful information on water and clever use is made of the children's entries. Readers will learn about the scientific origins of water and how the water cycle works, as well as the importance of a clean, healthy water supply to people in the developing world. A share of its profits will go to the charity WaterAid, which helps provide safe drinking water in developing countries. The work of the children will help thousands of other children learn about the process by which we obtain safe, clean water.
