Water is a chemical substance and an element from the biosphere. Water has several states, but in general we refer to its liquid state. 71% of the surface of the earth is covered with water. It is so essential to life, that the first forms of life on earth probably came from the water.
Any living organism needs water to survive and the body of a human being is made of 60% of this substance. In addition to that, men and animals must keep their body hydrated constantly for their survival. The average lifespan of a healthy person who stops drinking is 3 or four days.

Water is actually the world's Biggest Issue. Water is not fairly distributed. On the one hand, western countries have enough means to purify any sort of water. Water is made available and flows out from your tap at any time you like. The daily water consumption in western countries per head amounts to 150 liters. On the other hand, some African countries lack frightfully of water, so much that many diseases in these countries come from the fact that people are constrained to take not drinkable water.

Moreover, the figures concerning the volume of oceans water and rainfalls available in the future are sloping downward: difficult to admit when around you you see tap water, spring water, waterfalls, oceans, sea, rivers, lake....!!

Some basic tips to decrease your water consumption are quite easy to pick up: take showers not baths, stop washing your car with a hose, try to cool down when a wet t-shirt contest is being organized and suggest a topless contest, and pay a due respect to water: it is THE element that makes earth so special: no other planets discovered so far showed any sign of water source nor any sign of life.
