WATER, THE SOURCE OF

LIVING

By Catinas Daria
INTRODUCTION
 Water is a transparent and nearly color less chemical
substance.
 It has the formula H2O.

 It is found in all states of aggregation.

 Water is found in all living things.

THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER
 According to experts, water is the second most
important element of life, the first being oxygen.
 Water is important in many areas, some of which
are:
• Health
• Electricity production
• Agriculture
• and much more…
1. WATER IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR
YOUR HEALTH
First of all, I would like to point out that water is used in every cell of your
body. About 70% of our body is water, which helps protect organs and tissues. Our
brain is made up of about 75% water and the blood has an even higher percentage,
83%. Because of these things we cannot survive without water for more than a few
days.
Second of all, Water keeps your body cool as part of your body’s temperature
regulating system and acts as a lubricant for your joints, your mouth and digestive
system in
saliva, and in your nose, throat, eyes, and
stomach as part of mucus.
*Drinking water also helps maintain
optimal body weight.
In conclusion, Water is not only
beneficial for an organism, but also beneficial
for it’s normal development.
2. WATER IS A SOURCE OF ENERGY
Water and energy are indispensable to the social
and economic development of a country. The rising
pressure on resource demands, new production, and
consumption models requires a better understanding
about the connections between water and energy.
According to the United Nations, over 100 years ago,
only 10 % of the world population lived in the cities.
Nowadays, this rate is of 15 %, and the tendency is for
that number to rise over the next years, reaching 75 % in
2050. In order to accommodate this increasing
population pressure, cities need to become more
intelligent, well prepared, and organized, aiming to
reduce poverty, providing education and health,
managing and optimizing natural resources, protecting
the environment, and facing climate change.
 All sources of energy, including electricity, require water in their
production processes: the extraction of raw materials, cooling in
thermal processes, in cleaning processes, cultivation of crops for
biofuels, and powering turbines. Energy is itself required to make
water resources available for human use and consumption through
pumping, transportation, treatment, and desalination.
 Thanks to hydropower plants we can today transform water,
such an important element in our lives, into renewable energy, thus
solving a lot of future problems regarding finding new energy
sources.
3. WATER IS IMPORTANT IN
AGRICULTURE
Water is a critical input for agricultural production and plays an
important role in food security. All plants need nutrients transported by
water to grow. The various agricultural crops are permanently covered
with complex irrigation systems that lead water from lakes, rivers or
streams to the present plantations.
Irrigated agriculture represents 20 percent of the total cultivated
land and contributes 40 percent of the total food produced worldwide.
Irrigated agriculture is, on average, at least twice as productive per unit
of land as rainfed agriculture, thereby allowing for more production
intensification and crop diversification.
4. CURIOSITY
 It prevents kitney damage
 It flushes body waste

 There is the same amount of water on Earth as there was

when the Earth was formed.
 Nearly 97% of the world's water is salty or otherwise
undrinkable.
