Save water‚ save life Water is necessary for life. Water is needed for domestic‚ agricultural and industrial purposes. Three-fourth of Earth ’s surface is covered by water bodies. 97 per cent of this water is present in oceans as salt water and is unfit for human consumption. Fresh water accounts for only about 2.7 per cent. Nearly 70 per cent of this occurs as ice sheets and glaciers n Antarctica and other inaccessible places.
