“WHY WATER IS IMPORTANT”

■ 70-75% of earth’s surface is covered
with water.

■ Much more fresh water is stored

under the ground in aquifers than on
the earth’s surface.

■ Of all the water on earth,

humans can only use 3/10 of a
percent of this water.
■ 70% of adult’s body is made up of
water.
■ A person can live about a month
without food, but only a week
without water.

■ Water leads to overall great

health by flushing out wastes and
bacteria that cause disease.

■ Water can decrease risk of

cancer.
THE NEED FOR CLEAN WATER
■ Drinking contaminated water is leading cause of
epidemic disease in developing countries.

■ Clean, healthy drinking water is essential to a

child’s proper mental and physical development.

■Water can cause birth defects.

■ 3.41 million people die each year from water,

sanitation and hygiene related causes each year.
As a French proverb
says, “We only realize
how precious water is
when the well is empty”.
That is why we must
protect and conserve it.
Bulgaria has a great
wealth of water, but mot
everyone appreciates it.
No one thinks that at
this rate of depletion in a
few years, our country
will resemble the
countries of Africa.
People, we must think about and
preserve this wealth of Bulgaria in
order to help the planet and the
future generation.
 THANKS TO WATER WE LIVE TODAY.
IT IS THE GREATEST WEALTH THAT A
COUNTRY CAN POSSESS.
 THANK YOU FOR
YOUR ATTENTION!
