Water is one of the most important substances that are needed for plants and animals. All known forms of life need water. Humans drink water that has qualities compatible with the human body. Around seventy percent of the World’s surface is secured with water and the seas hold around ninety-six percent of all earth’s water. Water also comes in three forms that are liquid, vapor, and solid.
Every organism in the world needs water. From tiny insects till blue whales, every life on Earth exists with the presence of water. A plant needs water to grow and stay fresh. A whale needs water as a place it lives. We human beings require water for our day to day life. The reason for the necessity of water might different from organism to organism. But the very existence of the world is ensured with the amount of water available in the world.
Cells in our bodies will not function properly without water. We need water either taken directly or through fruits or vegetables that have some water content in them.
Water is needed in great amount for us to:
- Drink for survival and digest the food we eat
- Bathing
- Cooking
- Washing our clothes and things
- Clean vessels and home, and so on
Water is important for the body because our body uses water in all its cells, organs, and tissues. Water in the body has many functions that include regulating body temperature, lubricating joints, carrying nutrients and oxygen to cells, protecting body organs and tissues, helps to dissolve minerals and other nutrients to make them accessible to the body, and helps to prevent constipation. The human body loses water through breathing, sweating, and digestion, so it important to rehydrate the body by in taking fluids and eating foods. The human body can go eight to ten days without water. The body needs nourishment and water to survive. Research shows at least sixty percent of the adult body is made of water and every living cell in the body needs water to continue working.
Moreover, to get healthy fruits and vegetables, we need plenty of water for the plants, trees, and crops regularly.
Water is a very crucial substance which at the same time is scarce. Though we see a lot of water in the oceans around the continents, the truth is we cannot consume seawater from the oceans. Only 3 % of the world’s water is in a form we can consume.
The resources of freshwater are:
- Excavated Dams
- Glaciers
- Soil which has a lot of freshwaters absorbed in
- Rivers
- Lakes
- Under Rocks
With much scarcity of water and high necessity of the same, it becomes so important that we need to undertake conservation programs for saving water.
The human body has loads of important jobs and it needs water to do a significant number of them. For example, our blood which contains a huge amount of water passes oxygen to all the cells of the body, and without oxygen, those tiny cells would die, and the body would stop working.
Most water moves through the body by osmosis. Taking water in and rehydrating the cells is known as osmosis. Osmosis takes the fluid and liquid the body needs, then returns to the bladder or intestinal tract by reverse osmosis to excrete toxins, waste, and unneeded fluids.
Although we drink water to survive water is also important to our body because we need it to cook healthy meals. Most bacteria do not live above 120°F, and as we increase the temperature we kill more of them. At 102°F, most bacteria can no longer reproduce.
There is no uncertainty that water is ubiquitous and it is very vital to our Earth and the life dwelling in it. Water holds no calories and is a significant feature in losing weight. It is the key constituent in shaping the worth of our lives and is a universal solvent.
