This document discusses the importance of water conservation by highlighting humanity's dependence on water and the threats of water scarcity. It notes that water is crucial for all life on Earth yet accessible freshwater makes up less than 1% of the planet's water. The document urges readers to help prevent water pollution through various actions like proper disposal of waste and chemicals, and avoiding activities that contaminate water sources like rivers and streams. It emphasizes that small individual actions can make a meaningful difference and calls on people to help ensure access to fresh drinking water for future generations.

3. These vary in the landforms, sources of water, and climate conditions.

5. Nutrients are drawn from the soil and used by the plant.

6. Without enough water in the cells, the plants droop, so water helps a plant stand.

7. Water carries the dissolved sugar and other nutrients through the plant.

8. So without the proper balance of water, the plant not only is malnourished, but it is also physically weak and cannot support its own weight.

10. It is the most abundant ingredient of the animal body in all phases of growth and development.

11. A calf's body contains 75 to 80% water at birth and about 55 to 65% water at maturity.

12. Of all farm animals, lactating dairy cows require the greatest amount of water in proportion to their size because water constitutes 86 to 88% of the milk they yield.

13. Water is the medium in which all chemical reactions in the body take place.

14. Blood, which contains 80% water, is vital in transporting oxygen to the tissues and carbon dioxide from the tissuesWater & The Life Around Us In its major functions, water acts as: 1. an ideal lubricant to transport feed; 2. an aid in excretion; 3. a regulator of body temperature

15. Life in the Water bodies

16. Human are water creatures

17. Water in our Body By weight our body is about 72% water, another 8% is a combination of chemical compounds and the remaining 20% is bone and solid tissue.

19. Brain 75 – 80%

20. Blood 80 – 85%

21. Skin 75 – 80%

22. Muscle70 – 75%

23. Kidney80 – 85%

24. Liver 65 – 70%

25. Bones 15 – 20%The Human body is a water machine, designed to run primarily on water and minerals.

27. 4 – 5 weeks without food

28. ONLY 3 – 5 days without water

29. People with strong will to survive are an exception to the above scientific facts. ** Our energy level is impacted largely by our consumption of water. It has been medically proven that just a 5% drop in body fluids will cause a 25 – 30 % loss of energy in most people.

31. Drink 2 glasses of water every 90 – 120 minutes.

32. Drink at least 2 litres daily.

35. It covers 2 / 3 of the planet earth.

37. To put it another way … less than 0.007% of all the water on Earth is available to drink.

38. Some observers have estimated that by 2025 more than half of the world population will be facing water-based vulnerability.

41. It occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies with adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds. Water is typically referred to as polluted when it is impaired by anthropogenic contaminants and either does not support a human use, like serving as drinking water, and/or undergoes a marked shift in its ability to support its constituent biotic communities, such as fish.

43. Cause: Industrial waste flowing into Tuo River.

44. Water pollution is a major problem in the global context.

45. It has been suggested that it is the leading worldwide cause of deaths and diseases, and that it accounts for the deaths of more than 14,000 people daily.* 1,000 Indian children die of diarrheal sickness every day.

49. Inspect your septic system every 3-5 years.

50. Concrete tanks are pretty durable but they can crack and leak

51. Concrete tank lids can be damaged by vehicle traffic; heavy duty covers are available.

52. Septic Tanks which are not pumped often enough can become filled with sludge and scum, becoming totally impacted.

53. Well before this condition is detected, such systems have sent solids into the leach field, shortening its life.

55. Regularly check your oil tank and pipe work for damage and rust

56. Fix car leaks

57. Put a drip tray under your car to catch car leaks.

58. Soak up oil leaks using sand or rags and using soil dams to prevent oil entering drains or watercourses. Oil is extremely polluting and can result in long-term environmental damage and loss of drinking water.

60. Pull weeds by hand.

61. Avoid use of chemicals. If necessary, use sparingly and as directed.

62. Follow label instructions including those regarding timing of pesticide application to avoid potential runoff due to rainfall or irrigation.

63. Do not apply more pesticide than is needed or allowed by the label as the extra pesticide will be more likely to runoff if it can't be absorbed by turf.

64. Allow accidental applications of liquid to dry; do not wash them off the pavement with water.

66. Bathing in river or stream

67. Bathing animals in river or stream

68. discarding home waste in river or stream is a moral crime. These activities contaminate our water source, further depleting the available Fresh Water.

70. The earth was filled with darkness and water.

71. On the second day God made the firmament which divided the waters

72. On the third day God gathered the waters under the firmament – dry land appeared.

73. The waters He called as Seas.
