Water is complex because it is linked to almost everything in the world. But complexity should not hinder understanding: Water is a precondition for human existence and for the sustainability of the planet.
Facts & Figures
An individual’s basic water needs
A human being needs approximately 3 litres of water a day for drinking.
Per capita consumption is approximately 130 litres - for drinking, taking a shower or a bath, cooking, washing clothes, washing dishes and for heating.
On average, 625m³ of water are consumed annually by one human being.
A human is made up of approximately 60% water.
A human can survive for up to 40 days without food, but no longer than 4 days without water.
According to the WHO (World Health Organisation), 5 million people die annually as a result of drinking contaminated water.
In 25 years up to 6 billion people will suffer from a shortage of water because of poor hygiene.
However, global water reserves are limited, added to which, according to UNO estimates, the world’s population is set to increase from approximately 6.6 billion today to 9.2 billion by 2050. Due to the increasing average per capita consumption of water, currently 625m³ per annum, water consumption will also grow disproportionately.
Globally, more than one billion people have no access to clean drinking water. In 25 years up to 6 billion people will be experiencing water shortages because of poor hygiene. Even Europe’s natural water resources are being put under ever-increasing stress. Water stress arises when the amount of water used exceeds availability. In Austria, only 3% of the total renewable water supply is extracted annually – we therefore live in a veritable water paradise. By contrast, Bulgaria and Belgium, for example, suffer from water stress because they consume 55% and 41% respectively per annum of the renewable water supply.

Water is otherwise known as life. even in our body 70% composed of only water. For all The organisms as well as human water is necessary as like oxygen. it is a compound made up of 2 hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule. chemical formula of water is H2O. in case of water The bond angle between H and O is approximately 109.5 degree and The bond angle between H and H is approximately 104degree...
