Water Basics

How much do you know about water?

Because so much of our daily life involves water, we tend to take it for granted. However, it is essential for maintaining well-being and sustaining life. Water is the source of all life. Over 70% of our earth is covered with water. Water comprises 72% of the human body and 90% of human blood. We cannot survive without water for more than a few days. However, water is truly a limited resource. Only 1% of the world’s water is fresh water. We need to treat water as a precious commodity, be attentive to its increasing scarcity and its vulnerability to environmental toxins.
