Why Is Water Precious? All living things depend on water for survival. Plants need water to make food and grow. Many animals and plants live in water. Without water, there would be no food to eat, no clothes to wear, and no toys to play with. In fact, without water, we wouldn't exist! Did you know? Earth’s water is used over and over again. The water you use daily is older than the dinosaurs! The first water that appeared on Earth is all we will ever have. Nature’s water-recycling process, known as the water cycle, has kept the amount of water on Earth about the same for millions of years. Test yourself Did you know that your body is 70 percent water? That means a person who weighs 45kgs is made of 32 kgs of water (almost 32 liters!).   Find out how much water you are made of by weighing yourself and then multiplying your weight by 0.7.

 How much water do you use? Wash hands and face 9 liters Brush teeth (with closed tap)
