The second controlling factor is the attitude of human population to respect water. That means an attitude 1) To consider wastage of a single drop of water as criminal or sin,
(Foto B) ii) To consider purification of water polluted by him as his
moral/ethical responsibility, i.e. Adoption of recycling and reuse technology for water. This should result in sustainable
water-cycle with self-healing and self-regulating attributes. iii) To train people in optimizing the consumption of water in his
every operation. This would ensure proper balance and availability of potable water to every poor person at affordable
price throughout the world. 4) Water Content of Human-body for Maintenance of its Life-line i) In different Age-Groups:
The water-content of human body changes with its age. As a child
grows, its water-content starts going down. (a) Highest content is in “egg”, shortly after insemination-up to 90% (b) An embryo contains up to 85% (c) In infants it is 75-80% (d) Up to 40 years of age, it is 60-70% (e) >40 years it reduces to 50-55% (f) In old age, skin of hands, neck loses elasticity and becomes
creased. (g) If water content of the cells, which should be 70-80%, slips
below 50%, the vital processes become paralyzed; toxic wastes
can no longer be excreted. ii) Important functions performed by water in body. (a) Regulating water level & osmotic pressure. (b) Helping to regulate the energy supply & demand. (c) Transporting energy (Water is highly sensitive reservoir for em
fields) (d) Carrying Information (Water puts all parts of human organism in
continuous contact with one another) through neurons
