Water can be found everywhere in the world. But in some places water is hard to get. What happens when a town has such a problem? A small town in America found a way out.It is a very dry place and there is little rain there. The town had no water of its own. The people there got water from a river 300 miles away. As more people came to live in the town, more water was needed, and things went from bad to worse. Now water had to be brought in from 600 miles away.All these cost a great deal of money.In most places, water is used and then thrown away. But scientists in the town tried to find a way to cleaned the dirty water. Then the water could be used again in many ways. In the past few years five man-made lakes have been dug. Here people can swim, fish and go boating. Famers have more water for their corn. Several new factories have been put up. Now the people have enough water. The town has saved its water and also saved itself.
