Smile of Water ~ Writing Essay "Secret of Kumamoto"~

We can always drink delicious water in Kumamoto. When I came to Kumamoto, I was surprised because people can drink the water from the faucet directly. Yes, everyone know water in Kumamoto is so good. However, do you know why does it so delicious?? Many other prefecture don't allow people to drink running water. On the other hand, people who live in Kumamoto can do it. I want to talk about secret of delicious water.



First, Kumamoto's water is underground water. It is including rich mineral. Rain soak into the underground over many years. The rain is purified and percolated through the stratum and become the city water.These process are naturally. It isn't use any medicine. I mean we drink taste of nature!! One of the reason is Kumamoto prefecture's water is 100 % undergraund water, so it is delicious. Besides, there are many sources to store the water such as sira-river source, Kikuchi source, and so on. There are seven sources that was chosen as great place of water in Japan. We can see and taste springwater there. You should go there at least once!



Second, there are many trees and plants in Kumamoto. That is very good for the delicious water. I said the water is store in the underground. The trees and plants are usuful to store the water. Mt Aso can much water for a long time. There are many good tree and plants. More trees there are, more great water is produced.


However, underground water in Kumamoto has decreased gradually. We used the water without intention, but because people think Kumamoto has much enough to use whenever we want. Yes, Kumamoto is called "city of water"often. People tend to misunderstand the water is prodused forever, but it's worng. Water is used more and more everyday. On the other hand, trees have been cut year after year, and they can't store the water enough. It mean underwater can't be produced!! Did you notice about it? Maybe, most of people didn't. We have to care about the water.

If water lost in the world, we couldn't live anymore. We can drink delicious and safty water whenever you want if you turn on the tap in Kumamoto, because Kumamoto's water is 100 % underground water, and it is produced in the nature. It is so happy life, right?? In the other prefectures, we can't. Therefore we have to save the wonderful water. It has a limit. We should do whatever we can. We recieve the smile of water every day, so we have to appriciate to it.
