Through bright photos and clear diagrams, young readers follow the path of water from the moment a tap is turned on to where the bathwater disappears down the drain and beyond the neighborhood. The book explains how clean water arrives in the home and shows the stages of waste-water treatment, answering questions about where the water goes after we use it. Designed for early elementary students, the text presents the everyday water cycle in a straightforward, accessible way that sparks curiosity about the world beneath the surface.
