Water is composed of Oxygen and Hydrogen. It is found in wells, springs, ponds, rivers, canals and oceans. About one fourth of the earth is covered with water. It is obtained mainly from the rains.

Water is really a precious gift of Nature. It has no taste, no smell, and no colour. The other name of water is life. We cannot live without water. We drink it, cook our food with it, bathe in it, and wash our body and things with it. The farmers need water for growing crops or plants. With water, the soil becomes wet.

Then it becomes fit for sowing seeds there, the new plants can grow well only in the wet soil. The water comes from the rain. If not, the soil is then made wet by irrigation or otherwise. Pure water should be used for drinking.

Impure water carries germs and spreads diseases. Impure water can be purified by distillation or filtration process. Man cannot live without water.
