Best answer

1. About 97% of water is present in seas and oceans which is not useful for drinking and agriculture. 

2. 2% of water is present in the form of rain, snow, sleet, and precipitated water which is not available for consumption. 

3. Hence only 1% of freshwater is available in the form of surface and groundwater sources. This 1% of water is useful for drinking, domestic usage, and agriculture. 

4. Hence, we have to use this 1% of freshwater wisely and judiciously. This water is the basis of life and human civilization. So, water is life. Save water save lives. 

5. So, we considered water as a precious resource.
