The Water of Life Essays

Water is one of the most important and vital substance on earth. All life forms on earth require water to survive. If there will be no water there would be no life on earth. Aside from drinking water to survive, people have many other uses for water. An organism which does not require water is never discovered. While some organisms require less water than others, e.g., cyanobacteria Chroococcidiopsis, for instance, requires minute quantity of water that biologists even think it may be able to survive

All water is reused. It may be used and used again in its journey from deposition as rain to eventual mixing with the sea (James and Edward, 2006). There is no doubt that water is essential in our daily life. The water we drink every day, is it safe to drink? Water quality is measure by several factors, such as the concentration of dissolved oxygen, bacteria levels, the amount of salt or the amount of suspended material in the water.
