Planet earth has a lot of water. In fact, most of the planet’s
surface is covered with it. However, less than 5 percent of earth’s water is
fresh. Most of that freshwater is either in ice sheets in the polar caps, or
deep underground stored in aquifers. Through
studies of history, it is highly possible that societies could only be
established if water could be an economic or cultural power. For example, there
were water storages in ancient Sumerian culture, terra cotta pipes in Athens,
and aqueducts in Rome. This further proves the essence of water for society to survive in the present day. It is important for all human being to cut the amount of
water used because it won’t be long until clean water becomes so scarce that prodigious wars are fought for it.
