Publisher's Synopsis
Water ... nothing alive is going far without it. Earth is approximately 70 percent covered in water, and we are also 70 percent water.
Every little molecule and cell is dependent upon this Magic Elixir of Life.
We can survive days without food, but four days without water can be fatal. Water is more than a carrier of other materials. And let us take into consideration all these other actions, processes, and procedures water performs.
Water is:
- a nutrient transport system
- an electrical message system
- an energy combustion system
- a waste disposal system
- a chemical conduit
- a lubricant
- a solvent
- a dilutor
- a dilator
- a coolant
- a latent heat bank
"Water is the driving force of all nature."
Leonardo da Vinci
"The water cycle and the life cycle are one."
Jacques Cousteau
