Explorers need to know how to make the most of
their water, including using recycled water, even
if it means using ‘dirty’ water for lots of different
things. At home and at school we need to start
thinking more like explorers and finding ways to
make the most of the water we have. A lot of water
“waste” does not have to be wasted at all.
Blackwater (with poo and wee in it) needs to go into
a sewer or treatment plant, but greywater (that
someone has washed or washed up in) can be reused to
flush toilets or for growing food. A roof can catch a
lot of water and by using a gutter system you can
harvest a lot of water for having a water fight.
Attempt the missions in this chapter to use your
water waste in creative ways.
