The importance of water Water is one of the weirdest compounds known to humans. The difference between the boiling point and freezing point of water is one of the largest ranges of any compound. It is this span of temperature that mirrors the range of where life can exist‚ from bacteria to humans. Water also has a very high specific heat‚ which means that it can absorb or lose much heat before its temperature changes. This is important in maintaining body heat in mammals. It also takes a lot of

WATER POLLUTION INTRODUCTION Although some kinds of water pollution can occur through natural processes‚ it is mostly a result of human activities. We use water daily in our homes and industries‚ about 150 gallons per day per person in the United States. The water we use is taken from lakes and rivers‚ and from underground (groundwater); and after we have used it-- and contaminated it-- most of it returns to these locations. The used water of a community is called wastewater‚ or sewage. If

Water Conservation Water is essential to Earth. We need it to cook‚ bathe‚ provide power‚ control fire‚ and last but not least‚ we need it to live! Therefore‚ it is very important to human survival. When 70% of Earth is made up of water‚ you would think that we have plenty of water for our needs. But really‚ about 97% of that water is made up of ocean. We cannot use this water because it is too saline for our needs. Only 3% of Earth’s water is fresh‚ and 2% of that supply is frozen

Surface Water - Surface water is water on the surface of the planet such as in a stream‚ river‚ lake‚ wetland‚ or ocean. It can be contrasted with groundwater and atmospheric water. - Non-saline surface water is replenished by precipitation and by recruitment from ground-water. It is lost through evaporation‚ seepage into the ground where it becomes ground-water‚ used by plants for transpiration‚ abstracted by mankind for agriculture‚ living‚ industry etc. or discharged to the sea where it becomes
