Water was an interesting topic I learnt in my secondary school in Chemistry, back then, my class teacher made it clear that water is a colourless, odourless and tasteless liquid, which is use for various activities such as, drinking, cooking and washing, and it forms about 71 percent of the surface of the earth. However we are all aware that, sometime in the beginning, that water covered 100 percent of the earth's surface, until it was divided.
Water is very important to the world, we can see that water existed even in the beginning, in time of creation, therefore, water is not a man-made substance, but that of nature.
In addition, water has it own meaning, it is been defined both in the aspect of science and also that of art, both gives water it own meaning, but in my own terms, I would say water is a liquid substance that save life, in other words, water is life,this is because, every living organism that exist in this world, needs water for their own survival.

Humans cannot survive a week without drinking water, if we ever find ourselves in this situation, the only possible thing we should do, is to trace out source of water, such as, rivers, streams, or a lake, you can be lucky to find one around where you are, or better still reach out to people around for help and don't die in silence.
What are some practical way to conserve water in our daily life? |
|---|
One of the practical way to conserve water is to build soakaway, however, this is the best method to conserve water, some countries uses this method, where pipes are been connected from the bathtub, toilet, wash basins, to the soakaway, therefore waste water from wash basin, are transported to the septic tank where there are stored and later refined to clean water which there are used back.
However, there are some other ways which one can conserve water such as, avoid taking longer time in shower, avoid pouring clean waters, when not using them, check for pipe leakage to avoid water leakage, store water in a bottle in the refrigerator.
