Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen elements. It exists in gaseous, liquid, and solid states. Water appears blue due to slight red light absorption. Life originated in oceans' aqueous solutions
Plants need light, air, water, nutrients, and adequate space to thrive. Light is crucial for converting carbon dioxide into food. Plants require fresh air through respiration and carbon dioxide absorption. Water comprises 95% of plant tissues and provides structural support. Nutrients are essential for plant health and growth
Nutrition provides essential nutrients for life and good health. Poor nutrition linked to poverty and malnutrition worldwide. Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) set nutrient intake standards since 1943
Raw water is untreated water containing minerals, ions, particles, bacteria, and parasites. Used for irrigation, construction, cleaning, and non-human consumption purposes. Major health problem in developing countries for drinking and cooking
Distilled water is purified by boiling and condensing water. Drinking water distilled from seawater since AD 200. Aristotle's Meteorologica mentions water distillation before AD 200
