The Importance of Water

In the ancient world, water was one the only ways for people to stay alive.  The people had to water their crops because if they didn't then the crops would die.  If the crops died then they would starve.  Some groups of people traveled by water to get from place to place.  They made canoes and followed the animals from place to place.  If people lived in a place where there was not a lot of water they would pray for rain.  The water quenched their thirst and helped the plants grow.  When the humans traveled by water they had used canoes to cross the Bering Sea into North America.  The water provided them a way of transportation.  It also provided them a way to give their plants nutrients for food.  The human body is about 70% water so it would be impossible to live without water.  Water is just as important to us today than it was to the people of the ancient world.  It is a resource that must be used wisely and it would be impossible to live without it.  Animals, people, and plants would not thrive without water.  We need to conserve our water and use it a way that can benefit the earth and humans.
