A picture book “Learning about Water with Xiaoyu”, suitable for the lower graders, was also made with the aim of establishing the right concept of drinking water safety in the young. Furthermore, the brochure “Drinking Water FAQs” addressing frequently asked questions about drinking water quality was made and the brochure “Post-disaster Drinking Water Safety Information” was reviewed and updated in keeping with the times and the public’s requirements. 2.
