Water is one of the most important resources on Earth. Fresh water is important to all living things. Without water, people, animals and plants could not live. As the number of people in the world grows, so does the need for water. People cannot live for more than a few days without water. We need to drink water every day, but we can get some water from foods. Tomato has water of 95%, apple has water of 85% and corn has water of 70%. The human body needs fresh water. Without it, the body cannot work at its best. More than 50% of the human body is made up of water. Farmers need water to grow food and to feed their animals. The water comes from rivers and lakes. This is called irrigation. As the number of people in the world grows, more and more people need to share the water. Different industries use water in different ways. Mot industries need water for heating, cooling and washing. Some industries use water to make food and drink. Plants need water to grow. They need water to make food. Without water, plants cannot make oxygen. All living things need oxygen to live. Rain forests make up to 40% of the world's oxygen. They cannot do this without water. Everyone can help look after this resource by saving water when they can. If everyone saves just a little water, there will be more to go around.
