Water is life. If it disappeared from the earth, life too would disappear with it. In fact, some futurologists say, the next big war would not be fought for acquiring territory nor for any economic gain, but for water. For, human, animal, plant life depend on it and it is becoming a scarce resource day by day.
A larger area of the earth is covered by water than land, but most of it is saline water, not fit for human consumption.In fact the salinity is so high in certain places, that life is not known to exist in such medium, as in the Dead Sea. Scientists have, however, set up desalination plants in some regions for make the water potable.

All life (living) would die, if all the water from the earth, disappeared. The oceans would lie bare, covered by several inches to feet of salt. Water is a large component of all living cells, animals, plants etc and thus they would all be completely destroyed.The sky without its water content and with a high oxygen content may even change colour with a reddish tint. Without water vapour, the surface temperature would drop drastically and could go even below freezing temperatures.
