The earth gives us many things: air, water, shelter, food and energy. We cannot live without these, but we have to use them carefully, to make sure they last, and that we do not harm the world around us.
Much of the world's fresh water is found in rivers. People use river water for many things: drinking, washing, farming, transport - and even having fun, in boats or by swimming.
'Earth Alert!: Rivers' tells you about:
- Rivers as highways for ships and boats
- Water wildlife, from grizzly bears to microscopic plants
- Dangerous rivers that threaten lives
- How to keep rivers clean and healthy
With practical activities, interesting facts and lots of colour pictures, this book shows how important it is to take care of rivers.
