All we know, that everybody needs fresh water. Without water people, animals and plants cannot live. All humans need fresh water if they are to stay fit and healthy.
Of the total supply of
water on the Earth,
only about 3 percent of
it is fresh, and most of
that is stored as ice and
snow at the poles, or is
so deep under the surface
of the Earth that we
cannot get to it.
That's about 4,300,000 cubic kilometers of fresh water.

Example of the dangers of chemical waste
A good example is the Love Canal site near Niagra Falls in the United States of America. During the 1940's and 1950's the canal was used as a dump for 22,000 tonnes of chemical wastes. The site was then filled in and covered in soil, and houses built over the top. In 1978 it was noticed that many people there were ill and that children were being born with defects. It didn't take long to discover why, and the worst affected areas were evacuated.
