Water is called “the elixir of life”. This is‚ indeed‚ the name which the Indian Nobel Laureate‚ C. V. Raman‚ has given it in his celebrated essay of the same name. The earth comprises two thirds of water and one third of land. Water is essential for all living beings. There can be no life without water. Human beings‚ animals and all kinds of plants all need water. Much of the beauty of the earth is because of the presence of plenty of water on it. The main sources of water are rain‚ rivers

The Everglades’ ecosystem is being threatened by water quantity and water quality. They used to be able to flow freely from the Kissimmee River to Lake Okeechobee outward to the sea. The Everglades covered almost 11‚000 square miles of land creating sloughs‚ a mosaic of ponds‚ hardwood hammock‚ forested uplands‚ and sawgrass marshes. For hundreds of years‚ the Everglades become home to 40 different species of mammals‚ 15 endangered animals‚ and more than 350 species of birds. However‚ by the 1900’s

water is essential for life and keeps body hydrated. it is healthy and helps carry oxygen to our brain. Without water we would all shrivel up and die. Our body is made up of 70% water‚ our lungs ‚brain and heart all made up of mainly water. Water continuously recycled and never lost. Due you know all foods have at least little bit of water in them ex: carrot‚ bread‚ cheese and even egg also. We should drink at least 6 to 8 glass of water every day. Oceans‚Seas‚ Lakes are some of the re-sources

Water Conservation Our drinking water can come from wells‚ rivers and reservoirs. Our water usually does notcome from the ocean‚ because it is too salty to drink. The water in our rivers and reservoirscomes from precipitation. The amount of rain on average is almost the same from year toyear‚ while the population on the other hand is increasing. That means there is less water for each person in the future.Everyone should try to conserve water. However‚ it matters most to conserve where the population

Making Water Turbines Most Energy Efficient How does a wind turbine’s output vary with wind pressure (height of water)‚ the flow rate‚ size of the motor‚ and type of blade? Introduction There are many types of energy used today: Fossil fuels‚ coal‚ nuclear energy‚ solar energy‚ geothermal energy‚ hydrogen energy‚ hydroelectric energy‚ wind energy‚ and biofuels and biomass. Non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuels and coal are diminishing since it cannot be recycled‚ unlike wind energy

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
