What is Water?

Water is the key to our survival. Water Covers more than 70% of Earth, this indispensable resource is used for everything from drinking, bathing to even cooking and washing activities. However, despite being surrounded by water, only 1% of the freshwater is actually accessible to mankind for our use as 97% of water is present in oceans, and this saltwater is of no use to us as it is not drinkable. The freshwater that is available for our use is distributed unevenly all over the world. About 2/3 of the world's population still have no access to clean water which is a valuable resource for us. The main source of water is rain. Other sources of water are river, sea, lake, pond and stream.

It includes the activities and strategies undertaken to protect the water from pollution and manage freshwater so that it is evenly distributed for everyone to access.
