Katrina finds the following passage in a science textbook
There are many ways to conserve water. One way that people can save water is to reuse it. For example, instead of pouring
the old water from a pet's bowl down the sink, use it to water a plant. Another way to cut down on water use is to collect
rainwater A large barrel can be placed under a downspout to catch the rain. The collected rainwater can be used to wash a car
or water the lawn A third way to save water is to choose outdoor water activities wisely. Instead of playing in the sprinklers, swim
in a pool The sprinklers must run water continuously, but once a pool is filled, the water can be used again and again. One last
way to prevent water waste is to stop flushing unnecessary items down the toilet. Toilets use a lot of water when they flush. Do
not flush insects or used Kleenex down toilets. Following these suggestions will save gallons of water
