SIGNIFICANCE OF WATER
Water is an essential element for all the living organisms on our planet. It is the major component for the survival of life on Earth. Water forms 70% of the earth, out of which 3% of the water is considered to be freshwater.Water travels throughout your body carrying nutrients, oxygen, and wastes to and from your cells and organs. Water keeps your body cool as part of your body's temperature regulating system. The five main properties of water are its high polarity, high specific heat, high heat of vaporization, low density as a solid, and attraction to other polar molecules. Some ways to conserve the water are:
- 1. Turn off the tap and shower, when not in use.
- 2. Fix leaking pipes.
- 3. Unclean water can be used for cleaning, watering plants and washing cars.
- 4. Use mug instead of tap while brushing teeth.
- 5.Use a bucket to clean the floors.
Grey water Recycling Systems
The water used in most building structures is thought of in terms of clear clean water coming in, and sewage or black water going out. However, greywater is something that is in between that.
Rain water Harvesting
Rainwater harvesting systems can vary from the basic small ones, like the attachment of a water butt to a rainwater down-pipe, to the complexly designed large ones like those which collect rainwater from large areas and serve momentous numbers of properties. When it comes to domestic purposes, these systems are relevant to both commercial and domestic properties.
Water Meters
Water metering is a common term used by people when the discussion is around water conservation techniques. Water metering in simple terms is the process of measuring the water use in each residential apartment. Water meters are installed in each home of an apartment and these meters record the amount of water being used in a home for billing purpose or tracking consumption.
Pressure Reducing Valves
High water pressures waste a lot of water. Installing water pressure reducing valves turn out to be one great solution. These valves are can be used in residential, commercial, and institutional applications to lessen the incoming water pressure to a lower predetermined level. In this way, it protects the downstream plumbing system components as well as reduces the water consumption.

Water Storage
Water storage refers to holding water in a contained area for a period of time. Water storage can be natural or artificial. Natural water storage occurs in all parts of the hydrologic cycle in which water is stored in the atmosphere, on the surface of the Earth, and below ground.
Water Distribution
A water distribution systems is one in which the drinking water is transported from the centralised treatment plant or well supplies to the service connection or consumers taps. These systems aim to preserve the quality and quantity of water, as well as maintain sufficient pressures in the distribution of water.The distribution of water on the Earth's surface is extremely uneven. Only 3% of water on the surface is fresh; the remaining 97% resides in the ocean. Of freshwater, 69% resides in glaciers, 30% underground, and less than 1% is located in lakes, rivers and swamps.The four major water supply distribution systems, are tree, grid iron, ring and radial. Water supply distribution systems can be classified into four types which are as follows- Dead end system or tree system, Grid iron system, Ring system, and Radial system.
Water Precipitation
Precipitation is water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail. Precipitation is the main way atmospheric water returns to the surface of the Earth. Most precipitation falls as rain.
Soil Moisture And Salinity
The essence of saline soil improvement measures is to regulate the movement of soil water and salt, to promote the downward leaching of soil salt, and to prevent salt from migrating upward to the surface with the soil solution due to transpiration
Ground Water
Groundwater is water that exists underground in saturated zones beneath the land surface. The upper surface of the saturated zone is called the water table.The two types of groundwater are aquifers and wells. Aquifers are underground areas that contain rock and other materials that are permeable, allowing water to be stored or pass through. Wells are places where groundwater can be extracted. They can be naturally occurring or man-made.Swamps, lakes, rivers are examples of permanent groundwater. These bodies of water are persistent and in the case of drought, are replenished by groundwater. Semi-permanent surface water, also called ephemeral surface water, includes features such as creeks, streams, waterholes, and lagoons.

Water Ratio Of the Earth
The Earth is a watery place. But just how much water exists on, in, and above our planet?
70% Water present int the earth.
3% Fresh Water present in the earth.
0.5% Available Fresh Water present in water
2.5% of the earth's fresh water is unavailable.
