Can we make water?

Explanation

One of the author's reasons to make this article is to show information on the pollution of rivers so it can persuade people to not throw there waste in the river. This is because rivers lead to either oceans or other rivers, and the rubbish could pollute the entire water supply of each country.

Another aspect of what this article's purpose, is that the article could be warning us to save water because it says in the story that every drop counts and the pictures I see people queuing for water. That made me think it was a message for saving water because other people have problems with there water and water is precious to us, so that is another purpose for this article.

Then there is a third purpose, to change or persuade  people who throw their waste into the river on their daily walks, this is another purpose because it shows many picture and has convincing writing that can change people. For example: a random person was reading that exact article and thought for a moment. He or she realizes that they are helping with polluting the water supply of the whole world and they quickly change.

In conclusion three of these aspects of purpose from the article could possibly be the main reason for this article, but we don't really know, it surely is a mystery.
