WATER IS THE BLOOD OF THE EARTH
PROTECT NATURE
Why is there water and why should we save ?
- Filed under : water, health , environment , consumer
On March 22, is celebrated on the water . To remember the date, Turminha publishes response to questions from three readers : Water is very important to save ? ( Vinícius , age 7 ) Why is there water and why should we save ? (Job , 13 ) Why are there people who spend lots of water knowing that it is important ? ( Noelle , 6 years)
Why does water exist we would not know to explain because there is water on some planets and not in others . We only know that , for some reason , her existence on Earth was possible because there were atoms of hydrogen and oxygen that have combined to form a molecule of water ( H2O ) , which is made of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen . These hydrogen atoms will bind to other atoms of oxygen, which in turn bind to two hydrogen atoms , and so on , forming water.
If on our planet there was no water , there would be no possibility of life exists here , as plants , animals and human beings can not survive without it . The weight of the body , for example, consists of 50% to 75 % water depending on the age , sex and the amount of fat of the person. The fluids of the body are complex chemical mixtures , most of which are dissolved or suspended in water. So if we drank no water we would die .
Unfortunately , the waters of our planet are becoming ever more polluted because of untreated sewage and chemicals that are thrown in rivers and seas every day. As river water is very polluted , before arriving in our homes it must first pass through a treatment plant for the removal of pollutants , because the untreated water can transmit several diseases , such as diarrhea , cholera , schistosomiasis and many others.
The treatment process to decontaminate the water is expensive , and so it is important not to waste it . If we take long shower , brush your teeth or wash the dishes with the tap water we are playing out unnecessarily. We can not also save water flushing the toilet unnecessarily, repairing leaks in pipes from home , watering plants with watering can and wash the car with bucket , instead of using the hose , and not playing the cooking oil down the drain sink, because the oil pollutes the rivers and hinders water treatment .
