Water, Water Everywhere Part 2

This week as we began our water unit we’ve had many friends share how water is used in different parts of the world.  Francis and Rose Muncaster shared information and photographs with us.   Venkat  who runs the school day to day in India helped with the information on the previous post and comment.   These pictures are from projects done in Tamil Nadu, South India through Friends of Mettupalayam.

We want to thank them for sharing their pictures so that we could learn more.  All pictures belong to IRDT (Friends of Mettupalayam Trust)    http://www.irdt.co.uk/   Pictures may not be used for other purposes.

Indian people eat a lot of rice. In order to grow rice the fields have to be very wet. If the monsoon rain does not arrive the rice cannot be grown.
