Ancient Indians knew the indispensability of water for life on earth. According to ancient beliefs, the universe comprised of five basic elements: kshiti (earth), apah (water), teja (light/heat), marut (air) and vyoma (ether/space). As per the Rig Veda, all life evolved from water (apah). Pure water was called divyajal due to its properties of sheetam (cold to touch), suchihi (clean), shivam (replete with useful minerals and elements), Istham (transperant) and vimalam lahu shadgunam (acidic balance should not exceed normal limits). Besides, there are copious references to medicinal properties of water. 
With two thirds of the earth’s surface covered by water and the human body consistingof 75 percent of it, it is evidently clear that water is one of the prime elements responsiblefor life on earth. Civilisations owe their evolution to water ever since the beginning of humankind. Water influenced where people lived as our ancestors formed small cities aroundwater for agricultural reasons.
This precious resource has now become a very crucial factor for our economy.
