Introduction
Greetings, dear steemians and friends. I am delighted to take part in this engagement challenge. The topic is an interesting one and as such I wouldn't miss it for anything.
Appreciating a drop of water is very important and necessary.
When I was a young girl, I used to watch a weekly program entitled "Water is precious don't waste it." I kept on following up with this program until its end.
This program used to feature the importance of water and why we should not waste it and protect our sources of water and other interesting things about water on a weekly basis.
What is the function of water in life?
Before talking about the function of water. I would like to let you know how I defined water in my own way.
What is water?
Water is a liquid substance that is colourless, tasteless, and odourless. It is transparent and has its sources from the rain, river, lake, stream, and sea.
Clean water has no colour, taste, and odour. If water has colour, taste and colour such water is not fit for drinking.
The function of water in life is numerous. That is why we often say, "Water is life." Let have a look at the following functions of water in life.
- Water carries oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body.
- Water lessens the burden on the kidneys and liver by flushing out waste products from our body, and without water, that would have been impossible. Which would have cause a lot of harm if not death.
- Water helps in dissolving minerals and nutrients to make them accessible and useful to the body.
- Water helps in regulating the body's temperature.
- Water lubricates the joint and protects the organs in the body from damage. So we can say that water serves as lubricants.
- Water prevents constipation.
- Water helps in lactation. When a nursing mother drinks enough water, she will lactate well, and her baby will have enough breast milk to feed from.
- Water helps in healthy bones, joints, and teeth.
- Water helps children maintain a good and healthy weight into adulthood.
- Without water, aquatic life will not be possible. There will be no fish in the river and other sea creatures. So water is life.
How do we describe the value of a drop of water?
A drop of water can be said to measure a volume of approximately 0.05 mL.
Water is valuable, and so it's dropped because it has the ability to live and sustain the ecosystem. People who do not value a drop of water overuse and pollute it and, as such, water systems are facing a lot of crisis.
Water is precious. We shouldn't waste it. Apart from sustaining and supporting life, the value of water is seen in mental health, emotional stability, and happiness.
Water beautifies our environment.
The value of is seen in transportation too. Without water, it will be impossible to transport goods by ship from one continent to another.
How is the availability of clean water in your area?
Water is available in my area and the town of resident. We have pipe borne water, stream water, well water and enough rainfall which supplies water too.
Currently at where I live, we have a borehole that supplies us with water to cook, wash, and drink.
The above picture is an erected reservoir, which water is stored when and then supplies to all areas in the house, like the kitchen, toilet, and every other place where water is needed.
Here is a tap outside where I fetch water to wash clothes and the car.
In my place of worship, there is a source of water too, which supplies us with water to use in the toilet, drink and wash our hands before and after coming into our places of worship.

Water to wash our hands before and after leaving our place of worship.
Another source of water here is a stream in the rural area.
Conclusion
Let us learn to appreciate a drop of water foe water is precious, water is life.
