drank this morning might have
been the same water a dinosaur
drank millions of years ago?
There is the same amount of water
on Earth today as there has
always been. The water keeps
moving around in an endless
cycle called the water cycle.

Water and health
The body is comprised of
75%of water.
We cannot live without water
for more than 24 hours.
1.8 million people die from
diarrhea death where 90%
are children.
88% is attributed to unsafe
water supply, inadequate
sanitation and hygiene.
Amount of fresh water in the world …Of all the water on Earth, only a small amount is available for us to use. It's true!
96.5% of the Earth's water supply is salt water.Only 2.8% is fresh water!
• That 2.8% is divided like this: • 0.76% is groundwater (we can use
some of this water) • 0.0132% is in lakes and streams (we
can use some of this water) • 1.74% is in glaciers and icecaps
• 0.001% is water vapor
Sanitation
Don’t defecate in the open
Always wash yourself
Use toilets where they are
Don’t defecate near water sources
Dispose of your waste in a responsible manner
Reuse your bathing water
Environment
Don’t throw your household waste near drinking water sources
Clean your house and surroundings daily Don’t throw paper, plastic, households
wastes into open drains that run through the street
Throw litter into a bin and dispose of it properly
Don’t cut down trees but grow more plants See that the drains are not blocked
In 1955, an Indian citizen had 5000 cubic meters of water at her disposal. Today she has less than 1500 and it will get lesser in the future.
More than 1 billion people in the world have no access to improved water sources and nearly 2/3 live in Asia.
