It is clear, colourless liquid that appears blue when viewed through a thickness of 20 ft. The colour reflects not only from physical causes but also from suspended impurities. The freezing point of water is 0degree centigrade and its boiling point is 100 degree centigrade. Water is the most essential component of life and is vital for sustenance. The importance of water in our diet is apparent as it helps the body to perform specific metabolic tasks and regulates our body temperature, moreover water is unique as it's density is similar to that of cell protoplasm. There is no doubt that water is everywhere and it is very important to our Earth and the life inhabiting it. Water contains no calories and is a significant factor in losing weight.

Water bodies present on the surface of the Earth include river, pond, sea and ocean. Due to excessive heat of the sun the surface water evaporates. It is circulated in the atmosphere and produces clouds that break and reach the Earth's surface in the form of rain. Thus, the water that becomes evaporated gets recharged by the natural process of the water cycle which is continuous. It helps in maintaining eco system and makes our planet worth living. While the earth is filled with so many water, fresh water is a very small part of it and its quantity is decreasing only for the day. It is tragic but it is true that due to various human activities and human negligence the water present on the earth is being polluted. Fresh water is decreasing because water bodies are getting polluted due to industrial and domestic waste. This is a high time when we must understand the importance of water in our lives and the need to save it. There are many simple ways that we can avoid wastage of water such as taking a bath with low water, giving water to plants with waste water from RO, cleaning the car with wet cloth instead of pipes, etc. We use the method of rain water Should also be used.
