Without water, life couldn't exist. Because water is essential to all life, we must manage it intelligently and carefully .we think there is plenty of it, in oceans, lakes, rivers and streams. It may even seem as though we have more water than we need.
Water is essential to people in more ways than you might think. We need water for cooking, bathing, transportation and recreation. We eat aquatic plants and animal's .we use water to irrigate our crops and to manufacture products.
Most of the water on earth -97percent –is salt- water is stored in oceans .only three percent of the earth's water is fresh water –and most of that is locked up in ice caps and glaciers.
