There are a number of ways to save water, and they all start with you. When washing dishes by hand, don't let the water run while rinsing. Fill one sink with wash water and the other with rinse water.

Wash your fruits and vegetables in a pan of water instead of running water from the tap. Collect the water you use for rinsing fruits and vegetables, then reuse it to water houseplants. Grab a wrench and fix that leaky faucet. It's simple, inexpensive, and you can save 140 gallons a week.

Definition
Water is a chemical compound with the chemical formula H2O. A water molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms connected by covalent bonds. Water is a liquid at standard ambient temperature and pressure, but it often co-exists on Earth with its solidstate, ice, and gaseous state (water vapor or steam). Water on Earth moves continually through the hydrological cycle of evaporation and transpiration (evapotranspiration), condensation, precipitation, and runoff, usually reaching the sea. Evaporation and transpiration contribute to the precipitation over land.

Properties
Water is a liquid at standard temperature and pressure. It is tasteless and odorless. The intrinsic colour of water and ice is a very slight blue

both appear colorless in small quantities. Water vapour is essentially invisible as a gas. Water can dissolve many different substances, giving it varying tastes and odors. Humans and other animals have

Health and pollution

Water fit for human consumption is called drinking water or potable water. Water that is not potable may be made potable by filtration or distillation, or by a range of other methods. This natural resource is becoming scarcer in certain places, and its availability is a major social and economic concern. Currently, about a billion people around the world routinely drink unhealthy water. Poor water quality and bad sanitation are deadly; some five million deaths a year are caused by polluted drinking water. The World Health Organization estimates that safe water could prevent 1.4 million child deaths from diarrhea each year.

developed senses that enable them to evaluate the potability of water by avoiding water that is too salty or putrid. The taste of spring water and mineral water, often advertised in marketing of consumer products, derives from the minerals dissolved in it. However, pure H2O is tasteless and odorless. The advertised purity of spring

and mineral water refers to absence

of toxins, pollutants and microbes, not the absence of naturally occurring minerals.

In the developing world, 90% of all wastewater still goes untreated into local rivers and streams.
The strain not only affects surface freshwater bodies like rivers and lakes, but it also degrades groundwater resources.
