Oxygen, the most abundant chemical element, is present in combination with hydrogen to the extent of 89 percent in water. Water covers about three
2、 fourths of the earths surface and permeates cracks of much solid land. The polar regions are overlaid with vast quantities of ice, and the atmosphere of the earth carries water vapor in quantities from 0.1 percent to 2 percent by weight. It has been estimated that the amount of water in the atmosph

8、 there is a shortage of water, there will be a decline in farm production, just as a shortage of steel will cause a decrease in the production of automobiles. In addition to the direct use of water in our homes and on the farm, there are many indirect ways in which water affects our lives. In manufa
9、cturing, generation of electric power, transportation, recreation, and in many other ways, water plays a very important role. Our use of water is increasing rapidly with our growing population. Already there are acute shortages of both surface and underground waters in many localities. Careless poll
10、ution and contamination of our streams, lakes, and underground sources has greatly impaired the quality of the water which we do have available.
