Teamwork means working together for the benefit of all. Without teamwork modern society could not exist. Teamwork is at its best among the farmers in the dry areas of certain parts of Australia and Africa. The fields have been irrigated in these areas. Crops can’t be grown without water. For this purpose, canals and reservoirs have been built. The canals have been cut through the fields of not one farmer. Those who live higher up the valley than the others have permitted canals to be built through their land in order to carry water to the fields of farmers of lower down. When there is a long period without rain, all share the water. Instead of taking all the water of themselves, the farmers in the higher land leave enough water for their neighbors down the valley. Farming in the dry areas has been made possible by such teamwork. By co-operation farmers have learned to make the desert produce crops.
