Have you ever wondered why water is so important for life? Well, then good thing you are reading this essay because I will be teaching you three reasons why water is so important for life. Three reasons why water is impossible to live without is because it is necessary for the environment, agriculture, and last but not least for human and animal life. These are only a couple reasons why water is so important for life.

Water is very important for the environment. This is because all the plants that live in the habitat need water to grow and survive. Water is important so that both the animals are able to thrive. Also, it is important that this resource is reliable and always available for the species. Without water then the animals would end up getting dehydrated and soon not be able to survive. This would have negative impacts on the environment because the species of the animal would become extinct.

Water is important for farming also known as agriculture because the crops would not be able to grow without the nutrients of the water. Without water the crops would not be able to thrive or produce the fruits or vegetables that need to be grown. If you left a plant outside in the sun without even putting a drop of water in it then it is not likely to stand up straight, since the plant does not have enough energy to stand up tall. This is why water is so important for agriculture. All animals also depend on the foods that are grown and produced to survive. So it is important that plants have to the water they need to survive.

Water is important for both humans and animals because it is a basic need for survival. This is because without drinking water for three days a human will die. Since three days is the longest a person can last without drinking water. That is how important water can be to people. Animals can last about 10 days without drinking water before they pass away. Water can be a very impactful thing for both animals and humans so it is important to always stay hydrated with water. Wherever and whenever.

To conclude, water is a very important thing for the environment, agriculture, and last but not least for human and animal life. Without water our survival would not be possible, that is why it is important to make sure we have a safe and clean water in the environment.
