Water: sources and saving — EVS worksheet

We get water from natural sources like rain, rivers, springs and glaciers, and from man-made sources like wells, taps, hand pumps, canals and tanks. Clean water is precious, so we must not waste it.

Remember

Nature or people? — “nature gives rain and rivers; people make wells, taps and tanks”

  1. Natural sources: rain, river, sea, spring, glacier, waterfall.
  2. Man-made sources: well, tap, hand pump, tube well, canal, water tank, stepwell.
  3. Save water: turn off the tap, fix leaks, bathe with a bucket, collect rainwater, reuse water for plants.

Use it for: Class 2 EVS lessons on water, World Water Day activities and saving water at home.

Worked example: 💧 Is “hand pump” a natural or a man-made source of water? → man-made

  1. A hand pump is a machine that people build to pull up water from under the ground.
  2. Things built by people are man-made.

Check: No hand pump grows by itself — people make it ✓
