A Trivia Quiz About Water Conservation

Fresh water refers to the water that is suitable for human consumption and use. It includes water found in lakes, rivers, groundwater, and even in the form of vapor in the atmosphere. Only a small percentage of the world's water is fresh water, with the majority being salt water in the oceans and seas. Ice, although it is in the form of water, is not included in the fresh water category as it is not readily available for use.

A cotton t-shirt requires the most water to create it compared to the other options. Cotton is a water-intensive crop, requiring large amounts of water for irrigation. Additionally, the production process for cotton involves several stages that require water, such as washing, dyeing, and finishing. Therefore, the production of a cotton t-shirt consumes a significant amount of water.

Australia is the correct answer because it is the driest permanently occupied continent on Earth. The majority of Australia is covered by desert and semi-arid regions, such as the Great Victoria Desert and the Simpson Desert. These areas receive very little rainfall throughout the year, making Australia the driest continent. Antarctica, although extremely cold and covered in ice, is considered a desert because it receives very little precipitation. Africa and South America have regions with varying levels of rainfall, but they are not as consistently dry as Australia.

The correct answer is "Water well". This means that the individual has their own water well as their water supply. A water well is a hole drilled into the ground to access groundwater, which is then pumped up to be used for various purposes such as drinking, cooking, and bathing. Having a water well means that the individual is responsible for maintaining and managing their own water supply.
