<b>THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER</b>

More than two-thirds of the Earth’s surface is covered with water. Water is essential to
life. Neither plants nor animals can live without it.

Although we are surrounded by water, only less than three percent of this water is fresh
water, which is important to us. We need fresh water to irrigate our crops, and plants and
animals need it to survive.

Water has become one of the most important sources of energy. In the olden days, we
used steam to move engines of ships and trains. Then we discovered hydro-electricity. This
meant that there was no need to burn fuel to produce electricity. Fast running water turned the
turbo engine and this in turn produced energy like electricity. There was less pollution in this

process. Later, we built dams along rivers to ensure that there was fast-running water and we
also made use of tidal waves.

Oil slicks are another major problem. The oil does not degenerate but floats on the
surface and prevents oxygen from entering the sea. Thousands of aquatic animals and birds
have died because of this.

We must protect the water from further pollution or we will be the ones to suffer for our
ignorance.
