Water is necessary for all life. earth is often referred to as the water planet. But the world is facing unprecedented water shortages, and water pollution and distribution problems. These problems also have a tremendous impact on animal and plants, ranging from endangered species to food sources. There are also significant issues of justice regarding the cost, availability, and distribution of water.
