Water is one of the most essential things for living beings along with food and air. It’s a gift of nature and it’s needed by all living beings. A living being cannot live without water although it may survive without food for many days.

We are using water for many purposes. First of all it’s to drink and it’s to reduce our thirsty. And we can make so many drinks with water. Water is a main source to agriculture and industrial activities. Without water we cannot do agriculture, so no food to eat and no life. And also we cannot live without food; to make the foods we need water. Sri Lanka known as a hydrology civilized country. So we are depending on hydro power. Man’s civilization begun with water.

Water is a good mixer. We can mix lot of things with water. A lot of thing dissolve in water.71% of our earth is water, So we are using water transport system. They are very helpful to all and our countries economy. In Sri Lanka we have the natural harbors too.

We have so many problems with water too. When floods come water is like a devil. It destroys everything. The flood is the most common natural disaster. When water is not there that is also a major problem. 

When drought comes, we feel the validity of the water, on that moment we realize the value. When Tsunami time also we faced so many problem. The sea water destroyed everything in the coastal areas in this world.

When we look at the current situation of the water, the major problem is water pollution. The industrial wastage , residential wastage, the drainage system wastage also now throw to waterways. Not only the wastage is polluting the water but also the disaster also pollutes the waterways.
