WaterPod Makes Seawater Drinkable
I love the sea… Blughh! But I hate getting seawater in my mouth! Eww! It
tastes horrible! 大海景色優美又好玩,但是海水的味道真的很糟糕。 Yuck!
Seawater is really salty. Not only does it taste really bad, it will actually
make you even more thirsty! There's just too much salt in it for our bodies.
So no matter how thirsty you are, never drink from the sea!

We have so much water on earth, but 97% is salty seawater that we can't drink.

Now, some students from Malaysia have come up with a great idea. They
invented something really cool called a WaterPod.

This WaterPod floats on the sea, sucks up water, and takes out the salt!
People can then come to the WaterPod and pump out fresh water!
這個WaterPod漂浮在海面上,過濾海水中的鹽分,變成淡水。
If they can make more WaterPods, they could help so many people that live
near the sea but don't have easy access to clean, fresh water that they can
drink.
要是能夠做出很多WaterPod,那些住在海邊的人就有乾淨淡水可以喝了。
