Basics of Case Law - SYNOPSIS: Page - 1

Water plays an important role in many aspects of the global economy and human life. It is essential for agriculture, fishing industries, transportation, industrial processes, recreation, and more. The word water originates from Proto-Germanic and Proto-Indo-European roots. At room temperature, water is a tasteless and odorless liquid that is able to dissolve many substances, making it the "universal solvent" and "solvent of life." Water is unique in its ability to naturally exist as a solid, liquid, and gas.

Basics of Case Law - SYNOPSIS

 Water plays an important role in the world economy. Approximately 70% of the
freshwater used by humans goes to agriculture.[4] Fishing in salt and fresh water
bodies is a major source of food for many parts of the world. Much of the long-
distance trade of commodities (such as oil, natural gas, and manufactured products) is
transported by boats through seas, rivers, lakes, and canals. Large quantities of water,
ice, and steam are used for cooling and heating, in industry and homes. Water is an
excellent solvent for a wide variety of substances both mineral and organic; as such it
is widely used in industrial processes, and in cooking and washing. Water, ice and
snow are also central to many sports and other forms of entertainment, such as
swimming, pleasure boating, boat racing, surfing, sport fishing, diving, ice skating
and skiing.

 The word water comes from Old English wæter, from Proto-Germanic *watar (source
also of Old Saxon watar, Old Frisian wetir, Dutch water, Old High German wazzar,
German Wasser, Old Norse vatn, Gothic wato), from Proto-Indo-European *wod-or,
suffixed form of root *wed- ("water"; "wet").[5] Also cognate, through the Indo-
European root, with Greek ύδωρ (ýdor), Russian вода́ (vodá), Irish uisce, Albanian
ujë.

 Water (H 2O) is a polar inorganic compound that is at room temperature a tasteless


and odorless liquid, nearly colorless with a hint of blue. This simplest hydrogen
chalcogenide is by far the most studied chemical compound and is described as the
"universal solvent" for its ability to dissolve many substances.[6][7] This allows it to
be the "solvent of life":[8] indeed, water as found in nature almost always includes
various dissolved substances, and special steps are required to obtain chemically pure
water. Water is the only common substance to exist as a solid, liquid, and gas in
normal terrestrial conditions.[9] States
