What is the function of water in life?

---

Water is one of the natural resources of the planet earth. It is the most abundant resources on earth and it contains 70% of the planet.

Water is important for all living human beings and organism,without water, human being would not survive or exist, and the earth would be an impossible place to live, at all cost human and every organism need water to survive.

The Functions of water in our lives can't be exaggerated enough, it is what makes living possible, all micro organisms in the human body will cease to survive if there is no water in them, and the human body needs to contain a certain amount of water level to function.

Water also helps to maintain the human structure, I study microbiology and I'm quite learned in this area, water is more like a structure that contain cells and tissues, It provides support for the body system so as to keep our body cells from collapsing to one another.

And lastly , the human body needs water for regulation, and this is what we sometimes called dehydration, the human body needs to be in a certain room temperature, so therefore, water helps the body to maintain the normal temperature so as to prevent the skin from burning.

How do we describe the value of a drop of water

---

The value of a drop of water is everything, I said before that water is one of the most abundant resources, but we should also know that there are some area where they lack this resources despite its abundance availability in some regions.

A drop of water is all it takes for some people to survive, a clean and safe water is important for the environment, so for this case , water should always be appreciated in whatever region that it is found.

The value of a drop of water is everything and can not be over exaggerated enough, water is a resource that must be consumed whether you like it or not, so if something like this is much important to the human body, then we should by all means make sure it is protected and preserve.

In some areas where water is scarce like in the desert, every drop of water is precious to them, plant and cells hardly grow over there because of this scarcity, and if we find ourselves where we don't lack this ,we must as well use it wisely, so therefore a drop of water mist be appreciated and treated with respect as that drop is all is needed for some people to survive.

How is the availability of clean water in your area

---

I live in Lagos, Nigeria, and it is a city located in place where there is abundance of river which brings more water resources, but this doesn't mean there is much clean water around as most of this water are mostly contaminated.

The water in Lagos are from the Atlantic Ocean, Lagos is a home of river, there is several cargo transporting to Lagos due to its abundance water, but most of this water are not safe to drink, most residents actually prefer taking table water or dispenser water.

My area Lagos lacks access to clean water, and it is one of the major disease that individual face, there is a large diseases of typhoid in Lagos due to this effect , and the water are mostly contaminated, so therefore, on a several occasions, citizens has been warned to opt for the table water instead or the pure water.
