| | Water is unusual in that the solid form, ice, is less dense than the liquid form, which is why ice floats. | | | Even if it doesn't form a perfect sphere on Earth, we should be happy water is sticky. | | | If it wasn't for some of Earth's forces, such as gravity, a drop of water would be ball shaped -- a perfect sphere. |

| | When drought occurs, their countryside is transformed into an arid wasteland where every living thing seems to cry out for lack of water. | | | Everyone can envision better futures and begin working towards them.Giving clean water to a poverty stricken community is like giving a blood transfusion to a dying man. Water means new potential, new hope for a better tomorrow, and a new life. | | | These precious people do not have enough water to grow and harvest food, enough water to keep their livestock alive, enough clean water to protect themselves and their children from hunger and disease.Simply put - they do not have enough water to live. |
