Water is fundamental because it represents the basis of all forms of life.
It covers about 70% of the Earth’s surface and constitutes a significant part
of the human body. It is essential for human health, agriculture, industry and the balance
of global ecosystems.
Below are the main reasons why water is a crucial resource worldwide.
Environment and Climate Water is essential for the survival of plants and animals,
supports biodiversity, and plays a key role in regulating the Earth’s climate.
A Strategic Productive Resource A Limited Resource Despite its apparent abundance,
less than 1% of the Earth's freshwater is accessible for human consumption, making
sustainable water management a global challenge.
Sustaining Life Without water, life would not exist. Humans can survive only a few days
without it, and it is essential for drinking, cooking and maintaining hygiene.
Human Health:
The human body is composed of about 60% water, which is necessary to transport
nutrients, regulate body temperature, support digestion and eliminate toxins.
