why water is important

          Why water is important

Water is very important for us to use. Without it, we would all be dead. Because we would all get dehydrated.

How much water do we need? For a start, we need two litres a day. It's not just us who need the water, animals need it too. (By that I mean all of them like wild ones and pets.) people can survive up to three days without water. The longest time someone has gone without water was at least eight to nine days long. Sixty-five percent of our body is made out of water.

Is water in our food and drinks? Yes, it is. Just about everything we use is made out of water, for example, bread is made out of water because you need to water to wheat and then you have to wash it so without water we wouldn't have food like bread. Another example is that your drinks are made out of water like coke. without the water in it it be a pile of powder.

Are we running out of water? No, we are not because of a thing called the water cycle.  The water comes up the to the cloud as water vapour then the clouds come down to the earth as rain sleet hail or snow so the water recycles itself over and over again. Do you know that the water that comes out of your tap might have been drunken by a dinosour.

As I said at the start, water is very important because without it we will get dehydrated  and we can't make food and drinks.
