Water plays vital roles in our life and health.
For me, water is our body's transportation system — it carries nutrients through our blood and if we (woman) is pregnant-- to the baby. Water helps prevent bladder infections. If you drink enough water, your urine will stay diluted, reducing your risk of infection popularly known as UTI or Urinary Tract Infection.
I had an UTI and it is really painful. You will also have a fever due to the infection. You will feel a little or worst discomfort when peeing.
Water can also stop constipation and help prevent hemorrhoids. Also, drinking enough water prevents dehydration. If you just don't like the taste of water, try adding a wedge of lemon or lime, or a little juice for additional flavor. If you're not sure how much water you drink each day, fill a 64-ounce container and try to finish it by the end of the day.
Every little bit of water helps ensure a healthy us. It cleanse our body and promotes a healthy glowing skin...

Very much Lovelyn. I can't live without it. The phrase, "water is life," is very true to me. But it is very sad that we're losing it. We're losing good quality of water because we don't have much trees anymore. This is a bigger issue than any of us can ever imagine. I hope we'll all be vigilant about this. Being kind to our environment would be being kind to ourselves, because a clean and lush environment would mean good quality of water. I hope many people would realize that.

I also think one should consume as much water one can because water not only helps to keep us healthy and clean our body, but also helps to prevent infection and also helps to prevent disease. i think natural water is the best water one can have spring water and rain water. I have recently read about the water therapy that helps to prevent lots of diseases.

Said almost everything -- I just need to add one thing.
Recent study says that water has overall body healing power that is very powerful.
Some studies are there also where it is concluded that water can prevent and sometimes cure deadly diseases like cancer, TB etc.
It's called the Water Therapy

You are perfectly right. I couldn't live without water. It is a main element in my way of living. I drink a lot of water especially when I go in the countryside in summer where its taste is incomparable. Here the water is fresh and cool from the fountain, soft and tender and I can hardly stop drinking...I feel it cleans me inside. In fact, I'm a friend of any kind of soft drink, but especially fountain water!
