Water is life, as the saying goes – and indeed, humans can only survive for about three to four days without drinking water before dying from dehydration (exsiccosis).
Water is an indispensable prerequisite for life – not only for human life, but for life on our entire planet. Life doesn't necessarily require oxygen, but it does require water. It goes without saying that water has played a crucial role in shaping our Earth, its landscapes, and its biodiversity. Mountains and valleys were formed by the forces of water.
For millennia, humans have altered their environment to gain access to water. A famous example of this is the Roman aqueducts. In China, as early as the time of the Wu state (from 770 BC onward), work was underway on an enormous canal to transport water northward and facilitate trade.
Water forms the basis of life for many societies that have settled on coasts or along rivers. Industries arose along rivers, and trade used rivers to transport goods near and far. Water provided the energy for the first factories and still serves as a source of electricity today. Furthermore, water could serve as a source of virtually inexhaustible energy in fusion reactors in the future.
We use water to grow our food, as well as for cooking and cleaning. Without water, we could neither produce books nor paper; after all, written documents are mostly based on ink.
Water also possesses a spiritual dimension and fulfills a purifying function. From the Dao to the sacred waters of the Abrahamic religions, water is an essential part of the rituals of peoples around the world.
