Hydrologic Cycle: Ensures Earth's Water Availability

Water is crucial for life, ecosystem, and human existence, making it the second most important natural resource after fresh air. The presence of water in solid, liquid and gas/vapors form is probably the single most important parameter in determining the impact of climate on mankind. The climatic system can be regarded as global hydrosphere consisting of various subsystems interconnected by the transfer of water in various phases, such as surface and near surface water processes of evaporation, runoff, groundwater recharge, and interception. Hydroclimate is a scientific field that studies the impact of water processes on Earth's climate, focusing on natural phenomena like floods and droughts. The hydrologic cycle is key as it transports water to plants, animals, and humans, distributing nutrients, pathogens, and sediment within aquatic ecosystems. Hydroclimate: Hydrologic cycle: The water needed for drinking, irrigation, sanitation, and other necessities is provided via the hydr

Contaminated water and our health

     Water is essential to human nourishment, health, and stability. But harmful bacteria or viruses can contaminate public drinking water supplies, resulting in a water crisis that has killed more people than hostilities with Armed Conflicts. In order to ensure the security and quality of our drinking water supply, elimination of water pollution is a must. The transmission of tiny organisms through contaminated water or excrement is a significant public health hazard known as waterborne illnesses. Certain infections caused by water might be hard to identify and cure medically. It is imperative that this issue be professionally addressed for the benefit of both individuals and communities. Reducing waterborne illnesses, expanding access to clean water, fostering economic growth, enhancing health, and lowering poverty all depend on water conservation. Global aspect of Waterborne Diseases: Public health is still seriously threatened by waterborne illnesses. A shocking number of people, a

Marine Pollution and our Environment

The ocean plays a vital role in our ecosystem, producing a significant portion of our oxygen and acting as a climate regulator. It supports an incredible amount of life on Earth. However, ocean pollution has become a pressing global issue that directly impacts human health and poses a massive environmental crisis. While it predominantly refers to pollution in seas and oceans, marine pollution postures serious threats to the health of coastal areas, oceans, and waterways worldwide. This issue is widely recognized at the native, local, national, and global levels. Marine litter not only harms the environment but also has socioeconomic implications for industries such as tourism, fishing and aquaculture, and shipping. The major causes of marine pollution stem from various urban and rural sources, including solid and liquid waste from cities, fertilizer and manure runoff from agriculture practices, air emissions from shipping activities, as well as improper disposal of plastic waste origin

Natural system of water for life

As it is universally known that in desperate need just a single glass of water is worth more than anything, for example giving someone a glass of water in a place where there is no water is equivalent to giving them life. The fundamental units of all living things are cells, and trillions of cells make up the human body. Water is present inside these cells, and its exceptional ability to dissolve a wide range of compounds enables our cells to use important Dietary, minerals, and substances in biological processes. Water makes up 50 to 80 percent of all living creatures, including mankind, plants, and bacteria. As much as 99% of certain aquatic plants and animals, such as jellyfish and seaweeds, are made of water. Natural system of water supply: 2. Water is a fundamental requirement for the survival of all living organisms. Earth is often referred to as a water planet, as three-quarters of its surface is covered by seawater, which is the source of all freshwater on the planet. Air

Purification of Drinking Water

Our body requires the maintenance of a water-balance because it is primarily composed of water. The most significant aspect of human lives is water, yet we ignore it because we do not know how important it is. We need water for good health. It is essential for numerous bodily processes, such as supplying nutrition to cells, eliminating waste, protecting joints and organs, and regulating body temperature. Nonetheless, noxious concentrations of dangerous bacteria and substances occasionally pollute community drinking water. At the water's source, such as underground or water from lakes/wells or rivers, or as the water moves through the pipeline, bacteria and pollutants can enter the water. 2. Hydrogen and oxygen are the components of pure ordinary water. Pure water is characterized differently by different people in different scenario. As such Bacteriologists describe "pure water" as a disinfected liquid empty of any living microorganisms. On the other hand a chemist mi
