What is the importance of water? Briefly explain

Water is an indispensable substance in animals, plants and the human body. It can be said that without water, there would be no life. In addition, water is inseparable from food, clothing, housing and transportation in human life. Industrial and agricultural production cannot be separated from water. Water is an important raw material for industrial and agricultural production. The amount of fresh water consumed in agricultural production accounts for 60% to 80% of the total fresh water consumed by humans, and industry also uses a large amount of water for production. In addition, water also plays an important role in inland river and ocean transportation. The amount of fresh water in nature is less than 1% of the total water. According to the International Academic Symposium on Urban Water Resources in the 21st Century, the United Nations has listed my country as one of the 13 most water-scarce countries in the world. At present, my country's per capita water consumption is about 30% of the world's per capita water consumption. Human beings are now using more and more water, and pollution is becoming more and more serious, which requires us to protect water resources.
