Q.3 Why do animals and plants need water?​

Answer 1

Answer:

They get the water they need from the soil through their roots. The water in plants carries nutrients to other parts of the plant. ... Animals also need water to carry out cell activity. Some animals drink water regularly to keep hydrated, digest food and build body fluids.

Answer 2

$\bigstar \overbrace {\underbrace{Plants:}}$

• Plants need enough hydration to carry out photosynthesis. They get the water they need from the soil through their roots. The water in plants carries nutrients to other They go flaccid when they go without water and soon, they die.

$\bigstar \overbrace {\underbrace{Animals:}}$

• Animals also need water to carry out cell activity. Some animals drink water regularly to keep hydrated, digest food and build body fluids. Some fishes need saltwater and others need fresh water. Many kinds of fish such as clams and trout get oxygen from water.

• Some animals have water as their habitat. Other such as frogs and turtle need water to lay eggs and reproduce. The anaconda snakes, together with many reptiles live in water. Freshwater often carries lots of dissolved nutrients that aquatic organisms depend on. Without water, they will not survive.

$\red\bigstar\overbrace{ \underbrace{ \bold \red{Water}}}$

• Water is a vital renewable resource.3/4 of the earth's is covered with water.

• It is therefore called the'water Planet'.

• Fresh water accounts only about 2.7 %. Nearly 70 % of this occurs as a ice sheets and glacier in Antarctica,green land,and mountain regions.

• Due to their location they are inaccessible only 1% of fresh water is available and fit for human use. it is found as ground water,as surface water,and lakes.

• Humans use huge amounts of water not only for drinking and washing but also in the process of production. Water for agriculture,industries,genrating electricity through resoviors of dams are the other usages.

• Increasing population, rising demands for food and cash crops, increasing urbanization and rising standards of living are the major factors leading to shortages in supply of fresh water either due to drying up of water sources or water pollution

$\red \bigstar \overbrace{ \underbrace{ \red{\bold{Problems \: of \:Water \: availability }}}}$

• There is scarity of water in many regions of the world. Most of the Africa ,West Asia, South Asia, Part of western USA, north west Mexico,parts of south America are facing shortage in fresh water supply.

• They face great problems of water scarcity,thus water shortage may be consequences of Seasonal or annual precipitation.

$\red\bigstar\overbrace{ \underbrace{ \bold \red{Conservation \: of \: Water \: resources}}}$

• Access to clean and adequate water sources is a major problem facing the world today.

• Even though water is renewable resource, it's overuse and pollution make it unfit for use.

• Discharge of untreated or partially treated sewage, agricultural chemicals and industrial effulents in water bodies. are the major contaminants.

• Water pollution can be controlled by treating these effulents suitably before realising them in water bodies.

• Forests and other vegetation cover slow the surface runoff and replenish underground water.

• Water harvesting is another method to save surface runoff.

• The canals used for irrigating field should be properly link to minimise losses by water seepage

• Sprinklers effectively irrigate the area by checking water losses through seepage and evaporation.
