Abstract

An American Marine Biologist; Sylvia Earle rightly said, that without water there is no life. And without water, there would be no water bodies or any plants and trees. Water- the natural resource that begets life. Oxygen in form of air is inevitable to life, so is water. One only breathes air and is required for combustion, water is required to sustain all life on this planet and life functions of all the living beings. Water is one of the most vital natural resources for all life on Earth. The availability and quality of water always have played an important part in determining not only where people can live, but also their quality of life. Even though there always has been plenty of fresh water on Earth, water has not always been available when and where it is needed, nor is it always of suitable quality for all uses. Water must be considered as a finite resource that has limits and boundaries to its availability and suitability for use. The balance between supply and demand for water is a delicate one. The availability of usable water has and will continue to dictate where and to what extent development will occur. Water must be in sufficient supply for an area to develop, and an area cannot continue to develop if water demand far outstrips available supply.
