The children listened and took part in an informative assembly today from Dwr Cymru. They first learnt about the water cycle, then found out about everything that pollutes the rivers.
The focus was on saving water and the children were shocked to find out that if they brush their teeth twice a day and leave the tap on while doing so, they would waste thirty six litres of water!
