Welcome to the new world , a drier world. Today water is fast becoming a resource that is all set to rival oil for value.
Not only is the human body composed primarily of water but water is one of the fundamental premises for life on earth across life forms, birds, bees and all things that breathe need water. Unfortunately so do other things such as agriculture and , industry. Means “Life is water intensive”.
Today is World Water Day i.e, 22nd March
With every country seeking to satisfy its water needs from limited water resources, some foresee a future filled with conflict. But history shows that cooperation, not conflict, is the most common response to transboundary water management issues.
Its rightly said that Third World War is going to be for The Water.:boxing
Water Facts
71 % of the earth’s surface is covered with water
97% of that 71% is water in the salt water oceans i.e, 68.87% of the earth’s water is saline.
2.4% of that 71% is water contained in glaciers, polar ice caps and underground i.E. 1.70 % of the earth’s water is in frozen form.
The remainder, a mere 0.6% of 71% i.e. 0.42% of the earth’s water is in surface water bodies such as lakes and rivers.
Up to 77 % of the human body comprises water.
On average one human body needs between one to seven litres of water per day.
A dripping tap can waste as much as 60 litres per day or 1800 litres per month.
A leaking toilet can waste upto 100000 litres of water per year.
Just see…..we are short of time to avoid Third World War..:eek:
To save water is our moral duty.
Pearls don’t sustain life, the drops of water do! ;)
Let us save every little drop of water…..it counts:)
