Water,a vital resource of this universe



Water is a flavorless, unscented, and practically pale thing in its clean form that is necessary to all known forms of life and is known also as the most worldwide rich. Water is a plentiful   thing  on world. It exists in many spaces and forms. It is found mostly in the oceans and polar ice caps, but also as clouds, rain water, rivers, freshwater aquifers, and sea ice. On the globe, water is constantly stirring through the cycle involving evaporation, precipitation, and runoff to the sea. Water fit for human consumption is called drinkable water. This natural resource is becoming more inadequate in certain places as man in those places raises, and its accessibility is a main socio- economic concern.

Water wraps 70.9% of the world's surface, and is very important for all known kinds of life. On this universe, 96.5% of the world's water is found in oceans, 1.7% in groundwater, 1.7% in glaciers and the ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland, a small portion in other large water bodies, and 0.001% in the air as vapor, clouds .  Only 2.5% of the world's water is clean water, and 98.8% of that water is in ice and groundwater. Less than 0.3% of all clean water is in rivers, lakes, and the atmosphere, and an even smaller amount of the world's clean water (0.003%) is contained within biological bodies and manufactured things.
