Access to safe drinking water and sanitation is essential for the realization of all human rights and the development of life. However, despite the growing involvement of all countries, there is still a long way to go. In 2020, billions of people still lacked access to safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene.

Water is everywhere around and within us.
Nearly 70% of our planet’s surface is covered with it.
Nearly 60% of the human body is made of it.
It is the most abundant compound found in the universe mainly because it is made up of hydrogen and oxygen (H20) which themselves are among the top 3 abundantly found elements of the known world.
Even though the water is ubiquitous, most of what we see, whether in our solar system or beyond, is in the form of vapor or ice. Liquid water is hard to come by

â3. May help prevent and treat headaches
Dehydration can trigger headaches and migraine in some individuals.
â4. May help relieve constipation
Drinking plenty of water may help prevent and relieve constipation, especially in people who generally don’t drink enough water.
â5. May help treat kidney stones
Higher fluid intake increases the volume of urine passing through the kidneys. This dilutes the concentration of minerals, so they’re less likely to crystallize and form clumps.
Increased water intake appears to decrease the risk of kidney stone formation.

â6. Helps prevent hangovers
Alcohol is a diuretic, so it makes you lose more water than you take in. This can lead to dehydration. Good ways to reduce hangovers are to drink a glass of water between drinks and have at least one big glass of water before going to bed.
â7.Drinking plenty of water can help you lose weight.
Drinking plenty of water can help you lose weight.
This is because water can increase satiety and boost your metabolic rate.
Drinking water half an hour before meals is the most effective. It can make you feel more full so that you eat fewer calories.

â5 Properties that makes it conducive to Lifeâ
â1) Ice floats on Water
If Ice didnât float on water, life on our planet wouldnât have existed.
Ice is a peculiar solid form. It floats in the liquid water. Unlike most of the materials, the solid state of water is less denser than its liquid state. This is extremely rare. Only few substances exhibit such behavior.
If Ice didn’t float on water, life on our planet wouldn’t have existed.
Since the first life arose in water, if Ice was denser, in winters it would have filled the oceans from bottom up. Forcing the life forms to move upwards towards the top surface of the ocean where they would have frozen to death due to colder atmosphere.
But because Ice floats on water, the marine life survives the harsh winters. The ice formed at the top surface doesn’t sink to the bottom of the lake, rather it stays afloat protecting the water below it from extreme temperatures of the atmosphere. It acts as an insulating layer due to which the rest of the water below the top surface stays warm, and in its liquid form, and the marine life sustains in it.

âLittle Water Info
Water is a wonderful liquid, and full of unusual behaviors and chemical structures, which is why it presents an interesting exception to the general behavior of solids floating over their liquid forms.
If you keep cooling a liquid, its density continues to increase until it becomes solid, where it attains maximum density. However, in the case of water, this trend is slightly different, which is the root cause of this whole discussion.
Water’s density increases as you continue to cool it; but opposed to other liquids, which have their highest density when they freeze, water achieves maximum density when its temperature reaches 4 degrees Celsius (39.2 Degrees Fahrenheit).

A graph showing how density varies with changing temperatureIf you continue to cool water past 4 degrees Celsius, its density starts to plummet (you can see this in the graph). At zero degrees, i.e., the temperature at which water turns into ice, the density of water is actually quite low.
It turns out that ice has a lower density than water, and any object that has a lower density than the liquid form on which it’s kept (in this case, water) will be able to float!

âWhy Is The Density Of Ice Less Than Water?
To answer that, youâll have to look at the chemical structure of water.
A water molecule is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom
The negatively-charged oxygen atoms bind strongly with hydrogen atoms, forming a strong hydrogen bond.
When a liquid is cooled, more and more molecules are brought closer together and need to be accommodated in a smaller area. This gives most solids more density than their liquid form. However, in the case of water, the negatively-charged oxygen atoms repel each other (when brought together in a smaller space) to prevent the ice from becoming any denser. This is the reason that density actually decreases as temperature continues to fall below 4 degrees Celsius.
â2) Universal Solvent
Our body needs nutrients and vitamins to function. We need a medium to intake those items easily. Our body also generates waste and toxic components which it wants to throw out to prevent damages. We also need a medium to deposit these unwanted items.
Water is the perfect medium for both the tasks
because it is amazing solvent, in fact, it is called the Universal solvent.
Ever wondered why salt, sugar, and pretty much anything when mixed in water, gets dissolved in it seamlessly. Water is able to do this because of a peculiar chemical concept called polarity. In simple terms, all it means is the chemical structure of the water is such that it can easily mix with molecules of other substances.

â3) Stickiness
Water molecules sticks to one another. Hydrogen atom of one water molecule bonds with oxygen atom of the neighboring water molecule. Water has this property again thanks to its polarity.
This is very helpful because it enables water to get consumed or circulated as a constant stream.
Plants suck water from the ground using their roots. If the water didn’t posses the stickiness, plants could have only consumed a handle of water molecules, which would have been detrimental to their survival.
Thanks to its stickiness, water could be consumed by the plants upwards from the ground against the force of gravity.
Similarly, water also gets circulated in our blood vessels upwards against gravity.

â4) Distribution
We are lucky to have the right kind of temperature to naturally turn water to its gases state. This helps water to be distributed across the planet. The sunlight cause the water to convert to water vapor. The vapor molecules, being less denser, floats in the atmosphere.
They have affinity towards one another (thanks to their stickiness property) and forms a cloud. The wind then takes them far and wide, across the length and breath of the planet, where they open their gut to shower rain.

â5) Temperature Regulator
Water has a high heat capacity. All it means is, water can absorb the excess heat of the surroundings, and keeps it moderate. They become the giant heat sinks which prevents high temperatures fluctuations.
Due to this property the coastal cities have less
temperature variance than the drier in-land regions..
Water in our bodies helps regulate our body temperature. In fact, this is the principle behind sweating. When the temperature of your body increases, water molecules take the excessive heat within them and comes out of the body in the form of sweat leaving the body cooler.

âConclusion
Due to these 5 properties, water is extremely conducive for life.
That doesn’t mean all kinds of life out there would be based on water, but just the life, as we know it.
We certainly want to hinge our hopes on water, and hence, water is the most sought after molecule in our quest for life in outer space.

âWater Key Facts
In 2015, 71% of the global population (5.2 billion people) used a safely managed drinking-water service – that is, one located on premises, available when needed, and free from contamination.
89% of the global population (6.5 billion people) used at least a basic service. A basic service is an improved drinking-water source within a round trip of 30 minutes to collect water.
844 million people lack even a basic drinking-water service, including 159 million people who are dependent on surface water.
Globally, at least 2 billion people use a drinking water source contaminated with feces.
Contaminated water can transmit diseases such diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and polio. Contaminated drinking water is estimated to cause 502 000 diarrheal deaths each year.
By 2025, half of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed areas.
