In the United States, we are lucky to have an easy way to get clean water—just by turning on the tap.
Water is an important part in our daily lives and we use it for different aims, but do we really know how much water we use?
Each American family uses more than 300 gallons of water per day at home.
Water also plays a big part in our local communities. Without water there would be no local business or factories.We need a lot of pipes to bring us a large amount of water to our taps each day.
It starts out as rain or snow and flows into our local lakes, rivers and streams or into underground. You can learn more about water in your country.

What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves? Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. But none of them is worried about the road ahead.
Well, all of these could be the future of driving. There are several companies, for example, Google, working on driverless cars. So far, no Google self-driven car has gotten a traffic ticket, but some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.
These cars are now still in the testing stages(阶段). But, if the tests are successful, these electric self-driven cars could be put into use very soon.
The cars already have many features(特征) allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they notice other cars close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions.
Scientists believe that with the help of wireless signals(无线信号), cameras and GPS, it is possible to create a safe self-driven car very soon.
The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions. The self-driven car may be able to stop this. However, some people do not like the idea. American lawyer Whir Drake, for example, doesn't believe these cars are safe. He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes.
