Why is Water So Important?

Why is Water So Important?

Imagine earth without water, you cannot right?. Water is a life giver and also a life creator. Out of five basic building blocks of life (Pancha Boothas- land, air, sky, fire and water), water is the only one that has a visible cycle, which we call the hydrologic cycle. From the usable state, water evaporates and joins the air as water vapour. When the air cools, the vapour condenses and creates clouds, that help block heat from the sun.
Colonies of the ice-nucleating bacterium, P.syringae, blown into the clouds by wind, facilitate them to precipitate and fall as rain, snow, or hail.
Much of the precipitation is keep onto land as groundwater and lakes, snow and ice.
Then the water flows to the sea, it joins the "primordial soup" again as the ocean, ready to start the cycle anew.
The soil, with no water in it and nothing growing on that, would be lifeless, dead, folded into mud, sand, clay or rock.
Water stabilizes temperature, cushions & softens the earth, water is used to transport both nutrients and wastes in plants and animals, cleanses and breaks down wastes, enables reproduction and provides a home for all living and nonliving things. Our body uses water in all its cells, organs, and tissues to help regulate its temperature and maintain other bodily functions and 60% of body weight is water.
