Interesting facts about water


It doesn't matter how old the water is on Earth. Scientists continue to research this substance, discovering more and more new properties. Our body needs water for normal life, since it is it that transports nutrients and oxygen to the cells.

General information

The chemical is designated by the formula H2O. Water has no color, as well as no smell. The color and aroma in nature of the liquid are given by the bacteria contained in it, hence the term bacterial contamination. It is characterized for each reservoir by its own parameters. For example, the features of sea water are a high concentration of salts, high hardness, significant color. And the water from underground springs is perfectly clear, colorless, and contains minerals. Melt water, like other types of surface water, has its own characteristics. In each specific case, the quality fluctuates depending on the intensity of atmospheric precipitation, snow melting, the degree of pollution by sewage and human waste products.

Urgent problem

Today we can say for sure how much water there is on Earth. The amount may seem overwhelming, with the figure reaching 1.4 billion cubic meters. This corresponds to 200 million m³ per person. however, why more and more often we hear frightening predictions about an impending environmental catastrophe. To understand the essence, you need to indicate how much fresh water is in the total share. Here lies the shocking data. Fresh water reserves are only 2,5% of the total amount of water on Earth. We consume the bulk of the resource from rivers, lakes and nearby underground sources, while most of the resource is hidden in deep aquifers and stored in glaciers. By understanding the water cycle in nature, it is possible to assess the state of the world's freshwater resources and potential risks. Therefore, it is quite possible that soon water will turn into a strategic resource, and the plot of the film "Water World" will not seem so fantastic.

You can't live without water

Food and water are vital for human existence. And if without food we can hold out for several weeks, then without water during such a period we simply cannot survive. Water is involved in all vital processes, nourishing the cells of the body. Therefore, after 2-4 days (depending on the individual characteristics of the organism), the acute need for water will reach its peak.

Water and beauty are inextricably linked. By maintaining an optimal hydrobalance, you take care of the beauty of your skin, hair and overall health of the body. In addition to the daily rate of fluid, micellar water is also useful, which is used for external care of the epidermis. The right food, water and sports are the keys to longevity and well-being. Water cleanses the body of toxins and toxins, maintains the normal functioning of all vital systems, restores energy, and reduces the risk of infectious diseases. By following the recommendations for the daily fluid intake, you can keep the body in good shape, reduce weight, strengthen the heart and blood vessels, and ensure the normal functioning of the brain.

Types of water

There is a generally accepted classification of water based on a variety of signs and factors. We will try to organize all the varieties into a general list so that it is easier for you to get a general idea. Depending on the location, the hydrosphere contains surface, atmospheric, oceanic, river, ground, and underground waters. It also includes sea water, submarine (the so-called "water under water", it is located under the oceans, lakes and seas), artesian water, which lies between the water-resistant layers.

Another way to classify is the amount of salt in the liquid. Fresh water practically does not contain salts, but in sea water there is about 35% salt. Mineral water is located underground and contains biologically active minerals and trace elements. The general mineralization of water determines its properties and characteristics. As a rule, it is medicinal water with healing properties.

Water is also classified according to metaphysical characteristics, considering that in one case or another the liquid has magical properties. For example, in legends and fairy tales, the terms "dead water" and "living water" are often found, with the help of which you can kill or revive living beings. Closer to reality is the Epiphany or Holy water, which underwent a Christian ceremony on the feast of the Epiphany of the Lord.

Interesting facts about water

There is a ton of interesting information about water on the Internet, but some of the facts are really amazing. Thus, the physical and chemical properties of water have long been known and studied. We know how water appeared on Earth, how it is useful and what its lack leads to. But this is just a generally known surface knowledge. We invite you to read unusual facts about water, perhaps many of them will become surprising news for you:

  • Water has its own international day. It was installed by the UN more than 20 years ago. Since then, annually on March 22, public organizations and large corporations remind of the value of the resource and its importance. International Water Day is always accompanied by marathons, various actions and events aimed at drawing attention to the problem of clean drinking water.
  • Clean water on the planet is still not available to everyone. According to The Water Project, one in ten people in the world do not have access to clean drinking water, so they cannot quench their thirst. Overall, the problem affects nearly 800 million people.
  • The Finns can boast of the cleanest water. This is exactly what the official conclusion of UNESCO says. As part of the study, water quality was assessed in 122 countries, with Finland ranked first. Curiously, even here the locals prefer to drink purified water rather than tap water.
  • Scientists have tried to calculate how much water a person drinks in a lifetime. The figure turned out to be quite impressive. It turned out that the average person drinks from 35 to 60 tons of liquid during his life.
  • Hot water freezes faster than cold water. Surprisingly, if hot and cold water is poured into the same containers, the hot water turns into ice much earlier.
  • Water has the ability to dissolve a fairly wide range of substances, therefore it is called a universal solvent. Certainly, it does not work on some substances, including oil. However, water is a solvent for polar molecules, which is quite enough to affect various substances. Therefore, by adding salt, sugar, washing powder and other substances to the water, you can get their solution.

As you can see, the chemical and physical properties of water are amazing and varied. Scientists continue to research this substance, discovering new possibilities and characteristics. For example, more recently, in the framework of research, it was found that the rate of water per day is not only a concern for health, but also a way to increase your own productivity. Therefore, if you feel tired while at work, instead of coffee, it is better to drink a glass of life-giving moisture. Pure artesian water will invigorate better than caffeine.

Only a portion of the water is truly beneficial

It is possible to drink tap water in Ukraine, but it is not recommended. This is due to the fact that after being in the communications, the water ceases to comply with some sanitary standards. Many Ukrainians put a water filter to clean the liquid from impurities. However, the pH of water, as well as the concentration of heavy metal salts and other undesirable additives in it, remains extremely high even after filtration. That is why the best choice is purified bottled water, which is sold in our online store.
