WATER FOR LIFE ACQUA PER LA VITA 
CLASSE 1^A, a.s.2012/13
The existence of water is essential for life on Earth. ESISTENZA DELL’ACQUA E’ ESSENZIALE PER LA VITA SULLA TERRA
Water is made up of two elements: hydrogen and oxygen. Its chemical formula is H2O. 
L’ACQUA E’ COSTITUITA DA DUE ELEMENTI:IDROGENO E OSSIGENO. LA SUA FORMULA CHIMICA E’ H2O
Between 70 and 75 percent of the earth’s surface is covered with water. TRA IL 70 E IL 75 PER CENTO DELLA SUPERFICIE TERRESTRE E’ RICOPERTA DI ACQUA.
The total amount of water on the earth is about 326 million cubic miles. The same water that existed on the earth millions of years ago is still present today. 
LA QUANTITA’ DI ACQUA PRESENTE SULLA TERRA E’ CIRCA 326 MILIONI DI MIGLIA CUBICHE. LA STESSA ACQUA CHE ESISTEVA MILIONI DI ANNI FA ESISTE ANCORA OGGI.
Where is Earth's water located and in what forms does it exist? DOVE SI TROVA L’ACQUA SULLA TERRA E SOTTO QUALE FORMA?
Water has three different states: liquid, solid and gas. Pure water has no smell and no taste, it also has a pH level around 7. L’ACQUA SI TROVA IN TRE DIVERSI STATI: LIQUIDO, SOLIDO E GASSOSO. L’ACQUA PURA E’ INODORE E INSAPORE E HA UN PH DI CIRCA 7.
•Water is absolutely essential to the human body’s survival. A person can live for about a month without food, but only a few days without water. (L’ACQUA E’ ESSENZIALE ALLA SOPRAVVIVENZA DEL CORPO UMANO. UNA PERSONA PUO’ VIVERE PER CIRCA UN MESE SENZA CIBO MA SOLO POCHI GIORNI SENZ’ACQUA) 
•Roughly 70 percent of an adult’s body is made up of water. (CIRCA IL 70% DEL CORPO DI UN ADULTO E’ FATTO DI ACQUA)
•Water aids in the digestion process and prevents constipation. (L’ACQUA FAVORISCE I PROCESSI DIGESTIVI E PREVIENE LA COSTIPAZIONE) 
•Water is the primary mode of transportation for all nutrients in the body and is essential for proper circulation. (L’ACQUA E’ ESSENZIALE PER UN’ADEGUATA CIRCOLAZIONE E FAVORISCE IL TRASPORTO DI TUTTI I PRINCIPI NUTRITIVI NEL CORPO)
•Water helps to maintain healthy body weight by increasing metabolism and regulating appetite. 
L’ACQUA AIUTA A MANTENERE IL PESO FORMA AUMENTANDO IL METABOLISMO E REGOLANDO L’APPETITO
Drinking adequate amounts of water can decrease the risk of certain types of cancers, including colon cancer and breast cancer. 
BERE LA GIUSTA QUANTITA’ DI ACQUA PUO’ RIDURRE IL RISCHIO DI AMMALARSI DI CERTI TIPI DI CANCRO COME QUELLO DEL COLON E QUELLO AL SENO
The daily recommended amount is eight cups, but not all of this water must be consumed in the liquid form. 
LA QUANTITA’ GIORNALIERA RACCOMANDATA E’ DI 8 BICCHIERI, MA NON TUTTA QUEST’ACQUA DEVE ESSERE CONSUMATA IN FORMA LIQUIDA.
Water dissolves more substances than any other liquid. Wherever it travels, water carries chemicals, minerals, and nutrients with it. 
L’ACQUA PUO’ DISSOLVERE PIU’ SOSTANZE DI QUALUNQUE ALTRO LIQUIDO. DOVE PASSA TRASPORTA SOSTANZE CHIMICHE, MINERALI E NUTRIENTI.
But when there is not enough potable water for everyday necessity, the threat of awater crisis is realized. (MA QUANDO NON C’E’ ACQUA SUFFICIENTE PER I BISOGNI QUOTIDIANI SI CONCRETIZZA LA MINACCIA DI CRISI IDRICA)
Fifty years ago, when there were half the current number of people on the planet, the common perception was that water was an infinite resource. People were not as wealthy then as they are today, consumed fewer calories and ate less meat, so less water was needed to produce their food. 
CINQUANTA ANNI FA, QUANDO SUL PIANETA C’ERANO LA META’ DEGLI ATTUALI ABITANTI, LA RISORSA ACQUA SI PENSAVA FOSSE INFINITA. LE PERSONE NON VIVEVANO NELLE CONDIZIONI DI BENESSERE ATTUALI, CONSUMAVANO MENO CALORIE, MANGIAVANO MENO CARNE, PERCIO’ ERA NECESSARIA MENO ACQUA PER PRODURRE IL LORO CIBO.
Globally, the problem is getting worse as cities and populations grow, and the needs for water increase in agriculture, industry and households. 
GLOBALMENTE IL PROBLEMA PEGGIORA MAN MANO CHE LE CITTA’ E LE POPOLAZIONI CRESCONOE IL BISOGNO DI ACQUA AUMENTA NELL’AGRICOLTURA, NELL’INDUSTRIA E NEI LAVORI DOMESTICI.
About 700 million around the world currently suffer from water scarcity, they could increase to more than 3 billion by 2025. 
ATTUALMENTE CIRCA 700 MILIONI DI PERSONE NEL MONDO SOFFRONO PER LA SCARSITA’ DI ACQUA E POTREBBERE DIVENTARE PIU’ DI 3 MILIARDI NEL 2025.
World Water Day (WWD) 
Water Scarcity is the theme for World Water Day, which is celebrated 
each year on 22 March.
2013 is the International Year of Water Cooperation declared by UNESCO
