 Water is another important element on our Earth and without water, life
as we know it would cease to exist.

 While Earth has an abundant reservoir of water,
covering three-fourths of its surface i.e., around
70% of earth’s surface is covered with water,
Freshwater is a mere 2.6% of the total water.

and animals are using water, fresh water might be a scarce resource in the
