I decided to join Kim’s challenge. All living things need water to live. Without water, one could only survive for a few days. Water is an integral part of every cell in our body, with almost 70% of the human body being water. It is the basis of all biological processes that make life possible. Water is the most important nutrient that must be introduced into the body, as it contains some of the essential minerals essential for life. Unfortunately, groundwater quality is deteriorating due to environmental pollution. The rainfall water washes various substances into the soil. These may also include harmful substances as a result of intensive agriculture (pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers), densely populated areas and industries that can lead to the ingress of these substances into the soil.

The water in my village is very good. Thank god
We don’t have any water issues yet. I hope it will stay that way.
Sadly our rivers and water ways have become polluted by pesticides, over crowding especially of cows.
We desperately need to have them cleaned up.
You don’t need fertilisers with cows a cow pat is an excellent fertiliser in it’s own right.
This is sad. We don’t have any water issues yet. I hope it will stay that way.
So beautiful! The quality of the water is supposed to be god here, but they often find different chemicals.
I agree. Even in our country, we occasionally have problems with this
Our city is running out of water , ground water is so low despite the rains. The government doesn’t really seem to implement any measures to save rain water, it is up to the individuals who don’t care . Another thing that annoys me is the amount of water people waste everyday washing their vehicles.
Sorry about your water problems. Our government does very little. If the country did not receive the European funds it had to spend for these purposes, we would also have a lot of problems.
Very nice and interesting post, dear Vidocka … water is really very important for survival but in some cases it is also very bad … just look at what floods are happening around the world and how much damage water does
I agree. Also, water has good and bad properties.
Just like any other thing, dear Vidocka
You are right. We need to be aware of this.
the issue of water is huge thank you for calling this out!
1. water tables are shifting and that is dangerous.
2. water systems (that deliver water to homes) in many countries 9including the US) are old. Some of them still have lead-lined pipes that have to be removed.
The issue of freshwater is part of the reality of climate change as well. There are places that do not have clean water.
Thanks, Doc. I totally agree with you. I’m in luck with that. Years ago, we got new water, electricity and sewer lines. But I know many places that have problems with old wiring. The situation is slowly improving.
it is, even in the US there are places that have horrible issues with the water system (Flint Michigan just four years ago)
Water quality in the UK is excellent and while I know how important it is for our survival it can also be destructive. We have some severe flooding due to heavy rain here at the moment and people have lost their lives and homes.
I totally agree. Water has good and bad properties. It has been raining in our country all month long. We had floods but fortunately there were no human casualties.
Since water is life and how come a person survive with out it
I agree. Water is paramount to our lives.
No water quality problems here and yes it is so important to life in general
So far in our country we have no problems with water quality.
We have our own well that gives pure water throughout the year.
This is the best solution. We must not have our own wells.
There are water problems around but thankfully not in my area. Lovely photo.
Thank you. Also, currently we do not have problems with water.
