Importance of Water
Water is our lifeline that bathes us and feeds us. In
ancient cultures water represented the very essence
of life. The Romans were the first to pipe water into
their growing cities, especially with their aqueducts.
They also realized that sewage water could cause
damage to their people, and needed to be removed
from large areas of
people.
Water has played a role
not only in the history of
countries, but in religion,
mythology, and art.
Water in many religions cleanses the soul through
holy water. For example, the water at Lourdes,
France is thought by many religions to be sacred
water with healing powers. In Egyptian mythology,
the Nu was the beginning of everything and
represented water. It brought life to their people, but
in drought, produced chaos.
Water has always been perceived as a gift from the
gods as it rained from the heavens.
The water or hydrologic cycle explains interactions
between the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and
lithosphere. The water or
hydrologic cycle is a
major driving force on
our planet. Water is in
constant motion,
evaporating into the
atmosphere from oceans,
lakes, rivers and streams. When the atmosphere can
no longer support the moisture within the clouds,
we experience rain, snow, hail, or sleet. Some water
is locked in the form of ice at the polar caps and in
glaciers. Water melts in the spring, producing runoff
that percolates through the Earth as groundwater
(subsurface) or makes its way back to the sea
(surface). The oceans contain most of the water, but
it is salt water which is unusable by most
organisms. Only pure H2O (water) can interact with
organisms.
The movement of the oceans also has a direct effect
on the atmosphere. The atmosphere is that envelope
of gas that keeps organisms living on this planet.
Oceans and atmosphere interact to give us weather.
Water provides the Earth with the capacity of
supporting life. An organism doesn’t have to be told
how important water is to their existence. An
amphibian knows to lay their eggs in water or else
there will be no new born. Even flies know to lay
their eggs in fresh water.
The only organism that
doesn’t understand the
importance of water is
humans, especially in
industrialized countries.
Children in those societies
turn on the water in a sink
and never think about the
trouble someone has gone for that "miracle" to
occur.
In the United States it is mandated by law that its
citizens should be given clean and abundant water.
Dams, reservoirs, filtering plants, and pipes all
bring clean water when the facet is turned on.
Sewage water is only mixed with recycled water
supplies after the water goes through rigorous
cleaning methods. Water borne diseases do not
effect the U.S. population like in other countries
that do not treat their water supply.
Schistosomiasis worms, parasite in water.
Water borne diseases are any illnesses caused by
drinking contaminated water. Diseases can include
infection from bacteria (Salmonella), viruses, or by
small parasites (Cryptosporida, Giardia, and
 Toxoplasma). These
organisms and viruses
cause diseases like
cholera, typhoid fever,
malaria, botulism, polio,
dysentery, giardia, and
hepatitis A. One of the
first symptoms of these diseases is diarrhea, which
cause about three million deaths throughout the
world, mainly in India, Africa, and South America.
Sewage is sometimes discharged into rivers, where
children downstream might be taking a bath or
using the water to drink. The simplest treatment
method is boiling. Just bring the water to a boil for
at least one minute, then allow it to cool. But this is
not always effective in heavily chemical polluted
water supplies.
Without water, organisms could not exist. Water is
a resource that should not be taken for granted. It
needs to be conserved, just as we save other
valuable resources.
