Editor's Notes
- This is the dictionary definition of water. Lets take a moment and define what water is. H2O? Elixir of Life?
- Add one more Oxygen molecule, makes it H2O2 is Hydrogen Peroxide which is poison.
- The body water constitutes as much as 73% of the body weight of a newborn infant, whereas some obese people are as little as 45% water by weight.[5][6] These figures are statistical averages,
- A study carried out with children showed that even a 1-2% reduction in body weight loss due to fluid loss can significantly impair cognitive function. Drinking enough water can help keep you more alert, and even improve your mood, keeping your brain happy and functioning well.
- Blood Plasma (the liquid portion of the blood) is made up mostly of water.
- What we call as a bone marrow. Water is essential of smooth movement of your bone joints. When the water amount between the joints reduces, it causes friction which invariably leads to joint pain.
- The ligaments. 25% is Fat. Make no mistake, drinking water will not help you build muscle power.
- A human can go for more than three weeks without food. Mahatma Gandhi survived 21 days of complete starvation.
- Helps with weight loss (drinking 0.2 gallons of chilled water can boost your metabolism.) Glowing skin (helps to detox.) Reduces the risk of heart attack. Reduces the risk of certain cancers like bladder cancer, breast cancer etc.
- Typically the Oceans holds 97 percent of the Earth's water; and that water thus far is rendered undrinkable.
- Typically the Oceans holds 97 percent of the Earth's water; and that water thus far is rendered undrinkable.
- This means that 99% of water is either trapped in the glaciers or is underground.
- Not very James Bond-y
- A 5 min shower uses only 25 gallons of water. That’s more water than a typical person in a developing country slum uses in a whole day.
- This includes activities like irrigation and all
- The population surge in the all these years have led to a stress on water availability to the people. People living in developing or impoversihed countries don’t have access to clean water.
- In 1920, the world population was 2 Billion. As of Jul 25th 2015, the world population stands at 7.3 billion (with Indian and China contributing to 1/3 of it.) The use of water went up by 6 times stressing the already depleting source.
- As humans continue to pump more carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, patterns of weather and water will change around the world. Some areas rivers and lakes are drying up whilst some areas experience flash floods primarily due to melting of ice sheets.
- Pesticides and Fertilizers that wash away from farms. Human waste. Toxic substances from industrial processes .
- this wasteful use of water is drying out rivers, lakes and underground aquifers. India, China, Australia, Spain and the USA are close to reaching their water resource limit
- Take a 5 minute shower. Cut your laundry load in half. Wash only full loads Keep your faucets in check so that they don’t waste water unnecessarily. Turn water off while brushing Don’t leave water running while rinsing dishes.
- - http://www.charitywater.org- is a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations. Freshwater Wells, rainwater catchements, sand filters Worldwildlife.org- they are working on certain techniques of waterharvesting. Protecting some of the wet lands Water.org: Gives Watercredit By catalyzing small loans to individuals, entrepreneurs and communities in developing countries who do not have access to traditional credit markets, WaterCredit empowers people to immediately address their own water needs
- -Trees help prevent soil erosion -Trees combat the climate change -Trees help prevent water pollution -Trees save water- Slows the evaporation process.
- Lets just do our bit to save, conserve and preserve water. After all, it is the elixir of life!
