WATER 
Three fourth of the Earth’s surface is covered 
with water. 
It is one of the most important natural resource. 
All living things depend on water. 
It is also used in household purposes like 
cleaning, cooking, washing, drinking, bathing 
etc.
IMPORTANCE OF WATER 
Most of the water found on earth is not fit for 
drinking 
Only about 3% of fresh water is found on earth. 
Rain is an important source of fresh water. 
We get rainfall for only 2-3 months. 
We should save water.
SOURCES OF WATER 
Rain is the main source of water. It fills up the 
Rivers, lakes, ponds, streams, wells which are 
the other important sources of water. 
Wells- are used mainly in villages. Wells supply 
underground water. 
Tubewells- it has a tube or a pipe fitted to an 
underground source of water. An electrical or 
diesel pump is used to pump the water.
CANALS 
Canals are small channels through which water 
from rivers or dams are diverted to the fields. 
They are dug to take water to where there is 
water shortage. 
Example – the Indira Gandhi canal. 
DID YOU KNOW?!!!!!! 
INDIRA GANDHI CANAL 
IS THE LONGEST 
IRRIGATION CANAL!!!!!!
DAMS 
Dams are barriers constructed on rivers. 
They stop the flow of river water and store it in 
a reservoir. 
They help in controlling floods. 
Water stored is used for irrigation. 
It is also used to produce energy. 
Helps in development of fishing and navigation. 
It is also called the multipurpose river valley 
project.
RAIN WATER HARVESTING 
Rain water harvesting is process of storing and 
collecting rain water. 
This stored water is used for drinking, irrigation 
etc. 
It is usually done in the areas where there is 
scarcity of water. 
DID YOU KNOW?!!!!! 
MARCH 22 IS THE WORLD
