and i guess the humanity as well...its just a simple incident which makes me stop and think the importance of water..this morning i wake up and turn on the faucet and discover that there was no water ...its not because that i havent paid the bill for it..but because there was a leakage the previous night and the agency had to shut off the main switched on the affected area..you just could imagine without it how can i start the day without a water..its like the hour stopped for a minute..its good that my husband's office is just 15 minutes ride from our house and that we were able to get some for this mornings consumptions...what about you any similar experiences??

Water is essential for survival. In our city we have experience some water interruptions and its quite annoying. The good thing is we have our own water supply that separate from the city's water supply. As for our drinking water, I usually buy bottled water the big ones for my family and place it on a dispenser. I do not trust the water supply from the city. Sometimes, its so rusty most especially in the morning.

i can live without sodas but not without water. water is also called the universal solvent, and water can cure your colds and can help you to maintain a healthy excretory system.

water is the most basic necessities i cannot do without. even if i do not have money nor food , i still need water to survive because this is just like fuel for our body to function well. yes, there was a time that when we forgot to order our drinking water for the weekend and we felt as if the world stop and we ended up spending more than we should for a weeks worth of water.

Oh yes, water is highly important to humans. We can't survive without food for days. With water, we don't need too long to collapse. So many people around the water fall sick because of dehydration. And water is always a big problem on the minds of politicians.

maybe because they dont drink atleast eight glasses a day?or maybe they cant easily access to it ?or maybe the water around them is already unpure or polluted..why do you think it pose a big problem to the minds of the politicians?

they were doing road work out in front of our apartment complex when I walked home from the bus stop and I saw a huge torrent of water gushing down the center of the dug up highway. I got inside my apartment and went to turn on the water tap and no water. our water source was gushing down the highway so it took about four or five hours to stop the leak and resume water to our complex so I went to the Circle k and bought some bottled water for the interim. I can still see two workers teed off with each other screaming profanities and saying y ou idiot y ou should not have dug that backhoe there are your brains in your butt?
