Water, water everywhere...

It covers two thirds of the surface of our planet. It's the only substance found naturally on planet Earth in three forms, solid, liquid and gas. Humans can survive for around 2 days without water, maybe 3 if we're lucky. It makes up two thirds of our bodies, three quarters of our brains, lets think about it since we can't think without it.

What do Leith residents think about water?

 

No more moaning about the rain, It's time we stopped to say thank you to you, water. Not because you made our pint of beer or because you helped flush away our excrement (although we are most grateful for these things). But because we need you. Life, our very existance is totally and insperabley dependant on you, H2O.

Do we live in a desert? No quite the opposite, in Scotland there's water everywhere. Yes we value water, but do we need to think about being water efficient? I caught up with Angela from the Energy Saving Scotland Advice Centre to find out more, by a Gormley on the Water of Leith.
