Every living organism needs water to survive. Plants need water to
make food. All animals depend on plants for food either directly or
indirectly. Therefore without water, all life forms will cease to exist.
With the ever increasing population, water is becoming a scarce
commodity. To worsen this situation, the few available sources of water
for consumption by living organisms are being depleted at an alarming
rate. Careless release of wastes into water bodies is also a major
problem today. If nothing is done to reverse the situation, then it is
predicted that it will be extremely hard to find clean water in future.
It is obvious that direct consumption by plants and animals is top
among uses of water. Water has many other important functions such as
washing, transportation, recreation, industrial applications, chemical
uses, fire extinguishing among other uses. There is no other solvent
that can be used to serve all these functions of water. This further
stresses the importance of water in life. Without it life will be
extremely difficult. Therefore everyone is charged with the
responsibility of taking care of water because survival depends on it.
