How to make a Rain Harvester
Things you will need.
- A container to hold the water
- A big plastic bag
- Two lengths of bamboo
- A twisty tie
- Some strong plastic tape
- Rain
What to do:
- Take your bamboo sticks, cross the ends and push them into the ground at an angle halfway between upright and lying down.
- Use the twisty tie to secure the crossed ends together
- Cut off the end of rubbish bag, then cut down one side to make a large sheet.
- Use the tape to attach the bag to the sticks. Make sure that you tape around the top of each stick so that the plastic can slide down. When you have finished, the rain harvester should look like a sail, with some extra plastic draped over the sides.
- Position the container under the rain harvester at the bottom,where the sticks cross over.
- Test your rain harvester by pouring water down the plastic to ensure the water collects in the container. You may need to make a small cut in the plastic at the bottom to direct the water into the container

Lasike: In Tamaki river there is a lot of rubbish clogged there. Navy trainees and a charity went over to Tamaki riv.er and found 25000 cubic meters of rubbish and over 10 years sea cleaners have picked up 4 million cubic meters of rubbish.

Explanation
Water worries is a terrible event everybody face, no matter where you are in the world.
Water worries is a problem that people and communities are facing right now. It is about people polluting and wasting precious water which is being used for humans to survive. If the water is polluted our quantity of water can be decreased in the next few years to come.
This writing is used to persuade people to stop the destruction that people are doing to water. Why people should stop? Because if people waste and pollute water times and times again we might not have a future. Why am I writing about water worries, to increase people's awareness
Problem with the Manawatu river
Manawatu river, one of the most polluted rivers I know, it’s not really polluted by people its polluted by farm animals. If problem, there are no fences to block the animals from the river so to solved the problem, build a fence.
Keep the water clean, don't waste water and build a fence to protect Manawatu river.
