Answer» 1. About 97% of water is present in seas and oceans which is not useful for drinking and agriculture. 2. 2% of water is present in the form of rain, snow, sleet, and precipitated water which is not available for consumption. 3. Hence only 1% of freshwater is available in the form of surface and groundwater sources. This 1% of water is useful for drinking, domestic usage, and agriculture. 4. Hence, we have to use this 1% of freshwater wisely and judiciously. This water is the basis of life and human civilization. So, water is life. Save water save lives. 5. So, we considered water as a precious resource. |
