Answer:
Water can be used for direct and indirect purposes. Direct purposes include bathing, drinking, and cooking, while examples of indirect purposes are the use of water in processing wood to make paper and in producing steel for automobiles. The bulk of the world's water use is for agriculture, industry, and electricity.We use water in our homes, both indoors and outdoors. Uses include for drinking, food preparation, washing hands, bathing/showering, brushing teeth, toilet flushing (if there is a flush toilet), cleaning, washing clothes and dishes, and watering plants. Water is essential for the proper functioning of the body.Your body uses water in all its cells, organs, and tissues to help regulate its temperature and maintain other bodily functions. Because your body loses water through breathing, sweating, and digestion, it's important to rehydrate by drinking fluids and eating foods that contain water.
Explanation:
Water is one of the most vital natural resources for all
life on Earth. The availability and quality of water
always have played an important part in determining
not only where people can live, but also their quality of life
Industrial water use is a valuable resource to the
nation's industries for such purposes as processing,
cleaning, transportation, dilution, and cooling in
manufacturing facilities. Major water-using industries
include steel, chemical, paper, and petroleum refining.
Industries often reuse the same water over and over
for more than one purpose.
Irrigation water use is water artificially applied to farm,
orchard, pasture, and horticultural crops, as well as
water used to irrigate pastures, for frost and freeze
protection, chemical application, crop cooling,
harvesting, and for the leaching of salts from the crop
root zone. Nonagricultural activities include self-
supplied water to irrigate public and private golf
courses, parks,life.
Thermoelectric Power water use is the amount of water
used in the production of electric power generated with
heat. The source of the heat may be from fossil fuels,
nuclear fission, or geothermal. Fossil fuel power plants
typically reuse water. They generate electricity by
turning a turbine using steam power. After the steam is
used to turn the turbines, it is condensed back to water
by cooling it. The condensed water is then routed back
to the boiler, where the cycle begins again.
In short water is essential for us biologicaly(for drinking), in industrially as well as for power development.
