We choose our project theme as "WATER The Drop of Life" because we want to take attention about lack of water in the world.


Like energy, water is an essential component of almost all human ocupations. Water supply is vital to feeding a growing world population, to produce assets that determine lifting living standards and integrity for maintaining the natural systems on which the life on earth depends.


Considered for a long time as something of course, water can become, in many parts of the world, a factor limiting economic growth and food production in the following decades


In all of Europe, 44% of the captured water is used for energy production, 24% agriculture, 21% for water supply of population and 11% in industry. However, behind these figures hide significant differences in terms of water consumption in various sectors on the continent. In southern Europe, for example, agriculture represents 60% of total water abstraction, the percentage reaching even 80% in some areas.



Desalination has become an alternative increasingly often used in conventional water sources, particularly in areas of Europe with emphasis stress fluid.


However, when assessing the overall impact of desalination on the environment must take into account the high energy requirements of this method and the result of salt water.


Water deficit affects northern and southern Europe

European Environment Agency, advisory body of the European Union, shows that not only the Member States in Southern Europe, Spain and Italy, are facing water shortages, but also those in northern Europe.

Climate Change, specify the report will increase the frequency and severity of droughts in the future increasing shortage of water especially during summer.

Dear Teachers,
We are two schools from Romania and Turkey working towards EU Dialogue Award
Project (
www.eu-diaologue-award.de).
We are looking for one more partner from EU. We need one more school.
We are working on preparing a web site with our students aged between 11-13.
The theme of the site is “Water”.
We have great and enthusiastic students who have already great ideas for the
project. Please come and join us and see what our students can do.
Our project leader is the school’s computer teacher. You do not need high
technology.


We will help you to realize the project.
Contact Person:Ms Fulda Bol
E-Mail:
fuldab@yuce.k12.tr

Dear friends,
We are very happy to be partners with you. Shall we begin to work :)
As a first step how about introducing ourselves to each other? We will ask
our students "What do you want to know about other partner countries?” Then
we can exchange questions and their answers. The results might be very
interesting :) As you know, we are suggesting “the Water" as a topic. If this topic is okey
for you, we then can prepare a web site all about WATER which we think is the
common problem around the world. We can do same activities at the same time
and reflect them on our web site.
Here is a list of suggestions which are open to your suggestions:

1) We think we need to define our main idea firstly and talk about our
work procedure. (Watching films, visiting museums etc.)


2) Then we can talk about our activities to inform others about our
results. (meetings, preparing sheets, hand made books, short films, etc.)


3) Our students can design our web page by our guidance:
* What do you think about our web site color, theme, banner (students can
draw them)

* We can add the flags and will be great.
* What do you think about site map?
Tomorrow we have a club meeting at our school and we will tell our students
about you .
We think they will be excited and want to begin to work.
Good luck to all of us.

Best Wishes and Love from Turkey

Dear Alina,

Dear Friends, Following your message, I tried to contact Mr. Gordan Subotic both on his
private and his school e-mail but unfortunately, he has not sent me any
answer either. So I am afraid that we will have to count him out. I am very
sorry for both your teams but I cannot find a substitute 3rd partner for you
now. So maybe you wish to go on just the two teams or you cancel your
participation. Please be so kind as to let me know what you decide. Thank you very much and kind regards,

Hildegard

Dear Fulda
I wrote to Mrs. Hildegard concerning the fact Mr Subotic doesn't respond to
our e-mails and she tried to contact him but received no response.She wrote
back and i saw that she sent you the answer too, that we should continue
without the third partner. I think it is a great idea and we should continue
according to the schedule we agreed upon.What do you think?We are looking to hearing from you as soon as possible.

Kind and sincere regards.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THERE WEREN'T ANY WATER IN THE FUTURE

Our students wrote their ideas about "WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THERE WEREN'T ANY WATER IN THE FUTURE?".


If there were no water in the future there wouldn't be flowers and other plants.


Many fishes wouldn't find water to live.

Many animals would become extinct. They wouldn't find enough water to live.


I wouln't do water paint.


Many animal would die and we couln't find enough food.


Because of pollution, we wouldn't swim in the sea.


We wouldn't do some sports.


We wouldn't dring natural water and we would be unhealty.
