Water is Our Life

People want water as much as people need air. Animals and Plants too need water. If there is no water we would all die. We use water for cooking, washing clothes, generating electricity , washing ourselves and for cultivation.

Rain, wells, hands pumps (tube wells), water falls, tanks, ponds, rivers and streams are some of the sources of water.

There is also water in the sea. But we cannot drink it or use it to water plants and crops because it is salty. In Arabic countries sea Water is desalinated (Salt is removed). People pollute water in waterways by washing clothes, bathing, washing animals and washing vehicles. We should stop doing these activities to conserve water because water is our life.
