Hi 1/2B. We use water for washing dishes, bathing, drinking. It is in our fish tank and toilet. In our back yard my Dad has built pipes from the drain and air conditioner so the waste water goes along the pipes and waters our garden for us. So the water is used on the plants. We also water the garden sometimes with the hose.

Hi 1/2B. At my house we use water to clean(mop), shower and bath, we also use water to water our plants and veggies. You drink water and you can also use water to have fun because you can have a water fight and put the sprinkler on under the trampoline and you can even swim in water if you have a pool or if you go to swimming lessons.

hi 1\2B at my house we all look after our water. I drink water a lot of the time during the day. We use water for the toilet the kitchen for the veggie patch in our back yard and for brushing our teeth at the end of the day. We try to save water as much as we can and not waste it, we also try to keep our showers short as we know that we use up water the longer we stay in the shower.
