DESCRIPTION |
|
| If there is a magic on this planet, it is contained in water. Yes, indeed, for what else is found in nature in all the natural states of matter-solid, liquid and gas? Water as ice, water as water, and water as vapour. Our planet, perhaps is the only receptacle of water in the solar system, the major 'vessel' in which diversified life is contained. But, water is not an infinite resource. With growing population, industrialisation and urbanisation quantity and quality is being degraded. Main problem with water is that we do not know much about it. We never know where water goes after use or how much groundwater is left in the handpump. In this book, author has tried to explain the basic aspects of water for general readers. |
