Water is one of the most widely occurring substances on Earth. It covers seventy percent of the planet’s surface. Water is the only substance that exists naturally in all three states—solid (ice), liquid, and gas (water vapour and steam). Water falls as various types of precipitation—rain, hail, sleet, snow—and collects on the surface in glaciers, lakes, marshes, rivers, and oceans. It can be suspended in the air or found deep underground. Its presence helps regulate Earth’s temperature. Water is essential for all living species. Humans drink water and use it for agriculture, for industry, and for recreation. It is also valued in aesthetic and spiritual ways. In most of the world’s major religions, water has an important symbolic or ceremonial role. Not surprisingly, the development of human civilization has been closely linked to the presence of water. Historically, people settled or moved between places where water was plentiful and good for drinking. These two factors—water’s quantity and its quality—continue to shape how we use, manage, and discuss water today.
