It is an essential ingredient for all living things on earth, and without water, no life would exist.Water bodies like sea, lakes and ponds are home to thousands of creatures.

WATER AND IT's CYCLE

Water  covering approximately 70 percent of our home planet, both in liqiuid and frozen forms. Water is necessary to sustaining life on earth. It is a transparent fluid which forms the world’s streams,lakes, oceans and rain.   Only 2,5 percent of the earth’s water is fresh water and 98,8 percent of the water is in ice and groundwater.
