Life is possible on earth due to water. Everywhere one goes on Earth there is one
constant necessity; water. Nearly three-fourths of the earth's surface is covered with
water. Water is also found below the earth's surface. It is present in air in the form of
water vapor. About 70 percent of the human body is water. The bodies of all plants and
animals contain water. The three sources of water are rainwater, surface water, and
underground water. Rain water collects on the earth in the form of surface water and
underground water. The water present on the surface of the earth in the form of oceans,
rivers, lakes, ponds and streams is called surface water. The water in rivers and lakes
comes from rain and melting of snow on mountains. Rivers flow into the sea.
Underground water is the rain water that seeps through the soil on to the non-porous
rocks below. Sometimes due to high pressure, this water sprouts out in the form of
springs. The water we consume is usually from rivers and springs.
