    Water is not only used for consumption in our daily lives but it has other important functions. We use water for various other purposes such as for agriculture and health. We fully benefit from the uses of water and without access to water and clean water, humans would greatly suffer. That is why it is important to find sustainable ways to conserve and use water.
