WATER FOR LIFE
Water is one of the most important substances on earth. All plants and animals must have water to survive. If there was no water there would be no life on earth. Apart from drinking it to survive, people have many other uses for water. Water can be used for direct and indirect purposes. Direct purposes include bathing, drinking, and cooking, while examples of indirect purposes are the use of water in processing wood to make paper and in producing steel for automobiles. The bulk of the world's water use is for agriculture, industry, and electricity.
We need to use water wisely for sustainable water development and for future ganeration. A necessary step in reducing adverse impact on fresh water as well as on marine environment, is to use water more efficiently. A fundamental strategy in sustainable water management is to integrate water management goals into physical, social and economic planning. It includes agriculture management, overall land use planning, forest resources utilization, protection of coastal zones and marine environments from land based activities.
