Question 13 (Select all that apply)

• For "Plants cannot grow": Plants need water for photosynthesis and other vital processes. Without clean water (or sufficient water), their growth is hindered.
• For "They can become sick": Lack of clean water leads to poor hygiene, consumption of contaminated water, which causes water - borne diseases and makes people sick.
• "Roads and buildings may be damaged" is more related to issues like flooding from excess water or infrastructure problems not directly linked to lack of clean water access.
• "Air travel may be disrupted" has no direct connection to access to clean water.
• "Energy costs may increase" is not a direct consequence of lack of clean water access.

• "It means making water dirty and unsafe for people to use" is incorrect as water conservation is about protecting and using water wisely, not polluting it.
• "It means protecting water from pollution and other damage" is correct. Water conservation includes protecting water sources from pollution, over - extraction, and other harms to ensure its availability.
• "It means using as much water as possible" is wrong. Water conservation is about using water efficiently and not wasting it.
• "It means storing water in big tanks high above the ground" is a method of water storage, not the definition of water conservation.
