anything.

>solid (ice, hail, snow or frost)
liquid (in lakes, oceans, rain, dew, fog or mist)
in the air).
>gas (steam o r water vapour-"invisible" water

 Why should we save water?
Ofall the water in the world, only 3% is fresh.

Less than one third of 1% of this fresh water is available for human
use.

The rest is frozen in glaciers or polar ice caps, or is deep within the
earth, beyond our reach.

To put it unother way, if 100 liters represents the world's water,

about half a tablespoon of it is fresh water available for our use.
