The human body is made up of around 78 % of water. The amount of water the human body needs in its system to function is around 6 to 7 liters daily. These calculations make the worldly water demand a very high one. It puts water on the top scale of importance in daily life. There are 332,500,000 cubic miles of water (all kinds) in the world. Water makes up approximately 73% of the Earth’s globe. Out of that solid 73% only 1% of it is drinkable for humans (including bottled water). So what’s going to happen? Humans need to learn how to value the little things in order to appreciate the big ones. Water needs to be appreciated or else one day (could be soon) there might not be any left.
This research was done through discovery science. It was a discovery in which scientists observed the several patterns of water need, plentitude and contamination in order to get to the conclusion: “Water is plenty, yet drinkable water is not”.
