Steemit Engagement Challenge S9W2 - Water and Life

Water is a source of life for living things on earth which should be a concern for everyone. When viewed from the comparison between water and land on the earth's surface (71%: 29%), it has been illustrated that the existence of water is an integral part of the continuity of life.

On the other hand, when viewed from a medical perspective on living things, namely humans. Water has a vital role in the human body, I will give some examples that are relevant in everyday life.

1. Febris is a disease that occurs due to an infection process due to germs, viruses or bacteria. In this case, water acts as a regulator of body temperature stability so that it can function optimally. Patients with this condition if referred to the hospital will receive first treatment in the form of iinfusion fluids.
2. Another case, namely dehydration, dehydration is a condition where the body does not get a balanced intake of fluids, so that the body's functions do not run optimally. Patients with Gastro Enteritis experience excess fluid excretion through feces with a liquid consistency, while the intake is insufficient, the medical treatment that needs to be done is to provide fluid intake via Intravenous.

From the 2 examples above, it can be illustrated that water is a symbol of life and survival. For this reason, water resources should be conserved as an investment for humans and other living things.

1. What is the function of water in life?

As I have described in the opening paragraph, water is a vital necessity for living things, because a water crisis will wreak havoc for the survival of human civilization.

Water is an integral part of all aspects of human life, the most important being human physiological needs, then other daily needs such as bathing, cooking and washing. Then in other sectors, water also encourages increased agricultural production, just imagine how the condition of agriculture is without an adequate supply of water. Agricultural yields will decline sharply and can even cause crop failure.

North Aceh District is currently experiencing a water crisis in agriculture, the damage to the Krueng Pase Irrigation dam has caused the income of people who work as farmers to fall sharply, in the last 2 years the community has had to be patient in this difficult condition, they have to become traditional farmers by utilizing rainwater as a supply water for their farms.

This is really worrying, especially since the rainfall has been very low in recent months. We can learn with the conditions that occur, that water is the most valuable asset in human life.

2.How do we describe the value of a drop of water?

I can describe A Drop of Water as an essential need for living things, even though just a drop of water can provide a source of life, all need it and no one can deny this, a drop of water can have a big impact on humanity if be a big part.

For this reason, as humans who depend on water as a source of life, we should continue to protect and preserve nature as a source of water, use water wisely and protect against environmental pollution, and maintain the balance of biological ecosystems.

Environmental pollution that is happening at this time has had a major impact on living things, many river biota have died, we will find it difficult to find various ecosystems in rivers whose habitats have become extinct due to the use of uncontrolled chemicals.

3. How is the availability of clean water in your area?

If seen at this time, the dependence on clean water is quite high while its availability is very limited caused by very low rain intensity, for users of clean water from dug wells, they will experience quite severe problems, the discharge of water produced through springs will be very low, In general, people can only use it as a source of drinking water. For other needs such as washing and bathing, it will be very disruptive. From the conditions that occur, they generally have to reduce their use of water by limiting the frequency of bathing from 3 times to 1 or 2 times per day.

As water users who utilize the services of water providers from regionally owned companies also experience similar problems, clean water supply companies that process river water into clean water experience difficulties in meeting their clean water needs.

I can only use clean water for a few hours a day, the rest of the time the water supply is stopped because the river water supply is very limited. I respond to this by providing clean water storage tanks so that even in the worst conditions, clean water reserves are still available properly.

Water is more expensive than fuel this is the statement that I can describe in this post, just a lot if you have to buy 1 bottle of aqua medium size (500 ml) you have to pay at the price of 1 Steem / IDR. 3000, while the subsidized pertalite fuel is sold at 1.7 Steem/ IDR. 5000.

When compared with the production costs of the two, of course, petroleum fuel requires quite high production operations, while mineral water does not require large production costs. This means that it can be concluded that Clean Water is more Expensive than Fuel.

Use clean water wisely and maintain the ecosystem
