Raven shows a picture of a hand pump on a farm.
A girl pulls the handle, and clear water gushes out.
"Where does that water come from?" Rocket asks.
Raven points down. "What do you notice about the pump?"
Nova blinks. "Hint: some water hides under the ground."
Some fresh water is stored under the ground.
