Three years ago, the city of Lucheng had a very dry spring. It did not rain for almost four months. The reservoir that held the city's water became lower and lower, and people could see the dry, cracked earth at the bottom. Wells in some villages went dry, and farmers watched their fields turn brown.
The city government asked everyone to save water. Schools taught students to turn off the tap while brushing their teeth. Restaurants stopped serving water unless customers asked for it. Factories learned to clean and reuse their water instead of throwing it away. Parks stopped watering the grass every day, and swimming pools closed one day a week.
At first, many people complained. Saving water was troublesome, and some even said the government was making a big deal out of nothing. But when the news showed pictures of the empty reservoir, the complaining stopped, and more and more people joined in. Saving water became a city habit, not just a rule.
Families also found clever ways to help. Mrs. Chen collected the water from washing vegetables and used it to water her plants. Mr. Wu put a bottle of water inside his toilet tank, so every flush used less. My grandmother even saved the water from washing rice to clean the floor. Children drew posters that said, "Every drop counts," and put them up all over the city.
Then, in June, the rain finally came back, and the reservoir filled up again. But the people of Lucheng did not forget the dry spring. They kept their new habits, because the drought had taught them an important lesson: water does not come from the tap. It comes from the sky, the mountains, and the care of everyone. Today, Lucheng uses less water than before, even in rainy years.
