INTRODUCTION
Water is the most important all compounds and one the main constituent of the
world in which we live and living matter.
Nearly three quarters of our earths surface is covered with water.
It is essential for all life, approximately 60% and 70% water in the human body.
Naturally the water may be in physical states, however, it should be noted that
naturally there is almost pure. As almost always contains mineral
The exceptional importance of water from the chemical view point is that almost all
the chemical processes that occur in the nature, 831 as those performed in the
laboratory, dissolved substances takes place between this between aqueous
solutions.
In short, water is the main foundation of plant and animal life and therefore is the
ideal medium for life that is why the various forms of life thrive where there is water.

THE WATER
DEFINITION

Water is a substance the molecule

consists of two atoms of hydrogen and
oxygen (H2O). Its essential for the
survival of all known forms of life. The
term generally refers to water the
substance in its liquid state, but the
same may be in solid form called ice,
and in gaseous form called steam.

NATURAL STATE OF WATER

Water in natures is found in three physical states: solid, liquid and gas.
Solid State: It come as now, ice, hail, etc. forming the snow and glaciers of
the range, in colder areas of the earth so for example the Cordillera Blanca
in Ancash department, the snowy Coropunain in the region of Arequipa.

Liquid State: It is forming the oceans, seas; lake, ponds, rivers and rain
give way, etc.

Gaseous State: This state is in the atmosphere as water vapor in varying

proportions mists, forming clouds.

IMPORTANCE OF THE WATER

Water is very important for the following reasons:

Involved in the composition of living beings (up to 95 wt. %)

It is the essential food for life
Involved in photosynthesis
Dissolved nutrients to be processed with in the

body
Environment serves as a large number of
organisms: fish, algae, etc.
They act as a vehicle transport of substances
with in living beings.
It is an energy source
It has many applications in daily life
It serves as a communication channel for men: seas, lakes, rivers.

WATER POLLUTION

Pure water is a renewable resource, but can become so polluted by human

activities; its no longer useful, but very dangerous.

Ocean Pollution

The ocean is currently the dustbin of

the world, which will bring negative
effects in the future.
Most of the worlds coastal areas are
polluted mainly due to the discharge of
sewage, chemicals, waste, radioactive
waste, oil and sediment. The most polluted seas are Bangladesh, India, Pakistan,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Philippines.
Dolphins, sea lions and sea turtles die when they eat or trapped by cups, bags,
ropes and other plastic garbage thrown into the sea.

Lake Pollution

Pollution of lakes and other wetlands

is due to the immense development
and industrialization of the cities that
pose increased water use and waste
generation a sometimes causes water
pollution.
One of the consequences of pollution
of lakes, is the skin problems, many people use the lake water for bathing.

River Pollution
The river pollution is a problem older than the pollution, but that with the increase
of the population of the cities that are
born on the banks of the same, the
volume of both organic waste, sewage
product,

such

consequences

as

chemicals
of

as

industrial

development, increased so that the

same waters are affected so that its
composition is only natural, affecting
both fauna and flora that feeds the
same as humans that drink.

CONSERVE WATER
The objective of water conservation is reducing water use and not use
unnecessarily.
Water is essential for life, which is why we must always keep it and keep it clean
and pure to consume. You can perform many actions to conserve water. For
example:
When you are bathing, turn off while you are so aping body or wash your

hair, and use the water to rinse.

Do not waste water in ponds.
Do not throw trash in the water.
Do not wash the car with the hose, use a bucket.
Closes all water pipes in your home.
Do not use the stream to wash vegetables, because it wastes a lot of liquid.
It is preferable to use a wash container where all together. You can then use

the water used to water the plants.

When cooking, use the amount of water.
Do not take more than 5 minutes showers.
Avoid all kinds of leaks in your home, workplace, office, etc.

CONCLUSIONS
Water is essential for life; therefore, we must take care.
Water pollution can cause great loss of our marine resources such as fish,
shell fish, and other marine species.
Many people consume the water of lake and rivers, water pollution can
cause health problems in people who drink contaminated water.
There are many ways to conserve water, water conservation allows us to

reduce the use of water and not waste it.
