Water never goes to nowhere. It just changes its state. The usual water condition is liquid. When the temperature is low, water becomes solid. We know it as ice. Gas is the condition when water exists in the form of fog, clouds or vapor. This process of change of state is called the circulation of water.

The supply of fresh water is not limitless. In some parts of the world people experience lack of drinking water because much of it is not clean enough. Very often dirty water becomes the reason for serious diseases and people can even die. That's why water pollution is one of the most important issues to be resolved at the shortest possible time. Otherwise our planet will turn into a poisoned place not suitable for life.

Ocean is not only the main source of water on the planet. It plays an important role in climate formation. It is also often referred to as "lungs of the Earth" because of the big amount of aquatic plants that live in the ocean and produce oxygen. When we see pictures of the Earth from space, the planet looks so beautiful thanks to the ocean too.

We drink water to maintain our body in healthy condition. But can you imagine summer without swimming? Water provides us with entertainment too. On holidays people surf, windsurf, go boating and sailing. Don't forget that ice and snow are also water in its solid state. That's why we can't do without water when we go skating or skiing or snowboarding in winter.

We all know that a man is not able to live without food. But how long can we exist without water? In fact our body can survive only a few days deprived of water. Doctors recommend drinking about 2 liters of water daily. But remember that food, especially fruit and vegetables, that we consume also contains water. Needless to say that we shouldn't substitute fresh water with coffee, tea or sweet drinks.
