Water

Suhaila11B
What are the uses of water?
Water can be used for direct and indirect purposes. Direct purposes
include bathing, drinking, and cooking, while examples of indirect
purposes are the use of water in processing wood to make paper and
in producing steel for automobiles. The bulk of the world's water use
is for agriculture, industry, and electricity.

What is the amount of usable water on the earth ?


Only about three percent of Earth's water is freshwater. Of
that, only about 1.2 percent can be used as drinking water; the
rest is locked up in glaciers, ice caps, and permafrost, or
buried deep in the ground.
Why is water gold ?
we can only live three to five days without fluids. Water plays many important roles in the
body including flushing waste from the body, regulating body temperature, transportation
of nutrients and is necessary for digestion.

The future of fresh water


According to these climate forecasts, the future of freshwater will be full of extremes

Water sources and conservation in UAE

The UAE relies on desalination – the process of converting seawater – for


drinking water and regularly uses cloud seeding to encourage rainfall as it
only receives about 100 millimetres a year.
