 * 10:09 || mgraffin || A1. water is a big issue in West Oz due to climate change. decreasing rainfall #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:09 || mgraffin || big emphasis on waterwise education - e.g. waterwise schools program #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:09 || PanaAsavavatana || A1 I think there may be a lack of awareness of the impt. of water in our lives & has become a passive part of daily life #globalclassroom ||

 * 10:11 || PanaAsavavatana || @mgraffin That’s great, I think that more of that should happen here in Taiwan, don’t think youth are very aware at all #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:12 || beverly_ladd || A1 Water is life! Try to teach importance of it, how we should value it as a natural resource. #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:12 || PanaAsavavatana || @mgraffin Taiwan definitely has issues keeping water but people here consume and use more water than many other countries #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:12 || PanaAsavavatana || RT @beverly_ladd: A1 Water is life! Try to teach importance of it, how we should value it as a natural resource. #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:13 || mgraffin || @PanaAsavavatana now that is rather interesting. plenty of rainfall? or desalination? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:13 || mgraffin || RT @trbe200: Q1- water means life - we depend on the River Nile as the main source of water #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:13 || iEARNAustralia || RT @trbe200: Q1- water means life - we depend on the River Nile as the main source of water #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:13 || iEARNAustralia || @trbe200 @PanaAsavavatana water for food and drinking I suspect? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:15 || PanaAsavavatana || @mgraffin Lots of rain, mountainous place so it all rushes to the sea.Dams easily damaged as it’s also earthquake territory #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:15 || iEARNAustralia || @trbe200 @PanaAsavavatana amazing to think the Nile has been central to civilisation for 1000s of years #globalclassroom ||

 * 10:16 || beverly_ladd || @PanaAsavavatana @mgraffin Are there any education programs to promote protecting environment in schools there? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:17 || mgraffin || @beverly_ladd @PanaAsavavatana there are. Waterwise schools is one, Wastewise program (reduce, reuse, recycle) #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:17 || PanaAsavavatana || @beverly_ladd @mgraffin In our school, no. Not aware if local school programs educate children about this either. #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:18 || PanaAsavavatana || Q2 What global water issues are you aware of, or experiencing in your country? #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:18 || mgraffin || @beverly_ladd @PanaAsavavatana i am personally a fan of local projects, eg. kids monitoring water quality in local rivers #globalclassroom ||

 * 10:21 || PanaAsavavatana || @beverly_ladd @mgraffin I’m sure they exist in Taiwan but probably in Chinese, so hard for and Int. school to get involved #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:22 || trbe200 || civilization - Location - the rich soil - the skilled labor - and the great climate the whole year long  #globalclassroom ||

 * 10:26 || PanaAsavavatana || A2 I think its just more education needed here and realizing it’s harder for Taiwan to collect usable water #globalclassroom ||
 * 10:26 || mgraffin || .@PanaAsavavatana we are lucky to have clean water here, but declining rainfall is causing big problems #globalclassroom. have felt change ||
 * 10:29 || PanaAsavavatana || Q3 What opportunities can we provide our students to take action on water issues in their local region? #globalclassroom ||
