. Rivers and Lakes: Lifelines of the Land
Rivers and lakes are freshwater sources that people and animals depend on every day. They give us drinking water, help grow crops, and are used for swimming, fishing, and fun.
Sadly, many rivers and lakes are becoming dirty due to trash, chemicals, and sewage. This pollution harms fish and makes the water unsafe.
We can protect rivers and lakes by not littering, using natural cleaning products, and joining local clean-up days. Clean rivers mean healthy communities and nature.
