People's attitudes to water vary tremendously, according to the situation in which they live. In some regions, people have to manage with just one bucketful of water for a whole day. This means water for drinking, washing and cooking. On the other hand, in areas where people
have a continuous supply of running water, they often use water wastefully and the concept of conserving water is a new one. For example, .leaving the tap running while you brush your teeth uses 10 litres of water - the equivalent of a whole day's supply for some people.
