In our current school textbooks, the topic of water is introduced to teachers and learners with a focus on our ‘uses of water'. For example: how and why is water useful and important to humans, what does scarcity of water imply for us or how should we conserve it. Water, as an ecosystem however, goes so much beyond our use and interactions with it. As you will discover through this module, water is also home to and as important to a multitude of life on Earth. Even a little puddle of water after a rain that collects on your pot-holed road, or in the crevice of a tree trunk will attract birds, frogs and dragonflies!

​
