Water

 WATER

💕Water is anIt is a transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance, and it is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere

 and the fluids of all known living organisms (in which it acts as a solvent). It is vital for all known forms of life, despite not providing food energy, or organic micronutrients. Its chemical formula, H2O, indicates that each of its molecules contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms, connected by covalent bonds. The hydrogen atoms are attached to the oxygen atom at an angle of 104.45°."Water" is also the name of the liquid state of H2O at standard temperature and pressure.

Because Earth's environment is relatively close to water's triple point, water exists on Earth as a solid, liquid, and gas.It forms precipitation in the form of rain and aerosols in the form of fog. Clouds consist of suspended droplets of water and ice, its solid state. When finely divided, crystalline ice may precipitate in the form of snow. The gaseous state of water is steam or water vapor.

Water covers about 71% of the Earth's surface, with seas and oceans making up most of the water volume (about 96.5%).Small portions of water occur as groundwater (1.7%), in the glaciers and the ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland (1.7%), and in the air as vapor, clouds (consisting of ice and liquid water suspended in air), and precipitation (0.001%).Water moves continually through the water cycle of evaporation, transpiration (evapotranspiration), condensation, precipitation, and runoff, usually reaching the sea.👌 

👉Wastewater (or waste water) is water generated after the use of freshwater, raw water, drinking water or saline water in a variety of deliberate applications or processes. Another definition of wastewater is "Used water from any combination of domestic, industrial, commercial or agricultural activities, surface runoff / storm water, and any sewer inflow or sewer infiltration". In everyday usage, wastewater is commonly a synonym for sewage (also called domestic wastewater or municipal wastewater), which is wastewater that is produced by a community of people.

As a generic term, wastewater may also describe water containing contaminants accumulated in other settings, such as:

• Industrial wastewater: waterborne waste generated from a variety of industrial processes, such as manufacturing operations, mineral extraction, power generation, or water and wastewater treatment.
• Cooling water, released with potential thermal pollution after use to condense steam or reduce machinery temperatures by conduction or evaporation.
• ining Leachate: precipitation contapollutants dissolved while percolating through ores, raw materials, products, or solid waste.
• Return flow: the flow of water carrying suspended soil, pesticide residues, or dissolved minerals and nutrients from irrigated cropland.
• Surface runoff: the flow of water occurring on the ground surface when excess rainwater, stormwater, meltwater, or other sources, can no longer sufficiently rapidly infiltrate in the soil.
• Urban runoff, including water used for outdoor cleaning activity and landscape irrigation in densely populated areas created by urbanization.
• Agricultural wastewater: animal husbandry wastewater generated from confined animal operations.✋
  
  
  

👀All plants and animals need water to survive. There can be no life on earth without water. Why is water so important? Because 60 percent of our body weight is made up of water. Our bodies use water in all the cells, organs, and tissues, to help regulate body temperature and maintain other bodily functions. Because our bodies lose water through breathing, sweating, and digestion, it's crucial to rehydrate and replace water by drinking fluids and eating foods that contain water.

Let’s look at all the ways water impacts our lives…Water helps by creating saliva

Water is the main component of saliva. It’s critical for breaking down solid food and keeping your mouth healthy. If you find your mouth is drier than usual, increase your water intake. If that doesn’t work, see your doctor

It regulates body temperature

Staying hydrated is critical to maintaining a normal body temperature. Our bodies lose water when we sweat, and in hot environments. Sweat keeps our bodies cool, but our body temperatures will go up if we don’t replenish the water we lose. That lack of water causes dehydration, which in turn causes levels of electrolytes and plasma to dropWater aids cognitive functions

Proper hydration is crucial to staying in good cognitive shape. Research has shown that inadequate water intake can negatively impact our focus, alertness, and short-term memory

Water protects the tissues, spinal cord, and joints

Water helps lubricate and cushion our joints, spinal cord, and tissues. This helps us to be more physically active, and reduces the discomfort caused by conditions such as arthritisIt helps excrete the waste in our bodies through perspiration, urination, and defecation

Our bodies use water to sweat, urinate, and pass healthy bowel movements. We all need water to replenish fluids lost from sweating. We also need water in our systems to have healthy stools and avoid constipation. Drinking enough water helps our kidneys to work more efficiently thus preventing kidney stones

Water maximizes our physical performance

Drinking plenty of water while working out, taking part in sports or just being on the move, is essential. Keeping ourselves hydrated also affects our strength, power, and endurance

It helps to boost our energy levels

Drinking water helps to boost our metabolic rate. This boost has a positive impact on our energy levels. Drinking 500 milliliters of water can boost the metabolic rate by 30 percent in both men and women, one study has found. Negative effects of exercising in the heat, without staying hydrated, can result in serious medical incidents. In fact, extreme dehydration can cause seizures, and sometimes, even death.Water prevents overall dehydration

Dehydration is the result of the body being deprived of adequate water. And, since water is critical for the successful functioning of many bodily functions, dehydration can be very dangerous. Even leading to fatal consequences. Severe dehydration can lead to serious outcomes, including:swelling in the brain
kidney failure
seizures

Make sure to drink enough water to replace what’s lost through sweating, urination, and bowel movements, to avoid dehydration.

The importance of water.

It’s pretty obvious that having adequate water in your body is critical to nearly every part of it. Not only will maintaining your recommended daily intake help you to maintain your current state of good health, it could also improve it in the long run. The amount of water you need will depend on the environment and climate you live in, how physically active you are, and whether you are suffering from an illness, ailment or any other health problems.

Here are some ways to make sure that you drink enough water:Carry a water bottle with you wherever you go. Keep taking sips from it as and when you feel the need
Track your water intake. Make sure you consume the optimum amount every day, which is a minimum of half your body weight, in ounces/milligrams👈

😓Water molecule is made up of 3 atoms. 2 atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. They have imbalanced structure and this makes them stick and attract different substances. It is a chemical substance which is tasteless, odourless, colourless, transparent. It is chemically represented as H₂O. It is mostly used in making fertilizers. Its boiling point is 100-degree Celsius and melting point is 0-degree celsius. In the process of sweating, digestion, breathing body loses water content. Therefore, it is very important to drink water to keep it hydrated. Let’s see some other uses of water
List of uses of water

Water is stored in various parts of the world but not evenly distributed all over the earth. It is said to be a universal solvent. Various sources of water are – sea, lake, rain, well, stream, borehole and pond. It is used for washing, drinking, generating electricity etc. Below are the different uses of water in various fields:Domestic uses of water
Water use for agriculture
Industrial uses of water
Domestic uses of water:

15 % of water is consumed for domestic purpose. Water is used for drinking, bathing, cooking food and washing dishes, clothes, fruits, vegetables and brushing teeth.
Water use for agriculture:

Agriculture is the largest consumer of water. About 70% of water is used for irrigation. Water is necessary for gardening, farming and fisheries. Plants require water to grow. During the process of photosynthesis, they consume water. To yield crops, fruits, flowers, vegetables they need sufficient water, manure, sunlight and oxygen.
Industrial uses of water:

It is either used in creating or to cool the equipment used for creating the product. Industrial water is used for washing, cooling, processing, transporting, diluting or fabricating of a product. The maximum amount of water is used in the production of chemical, paper and food.

Other uses are – it is used in transportation, manufacturing, hydroelectric power, removal of body wastes, tourism and recreation.😨
