Water is the source of life.
Man cannot live long without it. Whether it reaches us from underground springs and rivers, or as rain falling from the clouds, it saves our lives and waters our crops. Today, most Westerners are fortunate to have water piped into their homes and naturally take it for granted that the first touch of dry lips will be quenched with water from the nearest faucet. We should count our blessings with a broad smile when we recall that water was not always so plentiful. In the history of mankind, piped water is relatively new.
