      Home Water Systems - Paul R. Wonning

      Water definition

      Pure water, at room temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit is a colorless, tasteless and odorless liquid. Two elements, substances made up only of them selves, combine to make a water molecule. A molecule is a group of atoms that have bonded. This is the smallest chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction. Two hydrogen atoms combine with one oxygen atom forming the compound, H2O, which we call water. Each of these elements is a gas at room temperature. Water is an essential ingredient for life, as we know it on earth. Seventy-one percent of the earth's surface is covered with water in one from or another. These different forms include:

      Oceans - 96.5%

      Glaciers - 1.6%

      Freshwater- 2.5%

      Freshwater Rivers and Lakes - Less than 0.3% of Freshwater, the rest is in glaciers or ground water

      Atmospheric Water Vapor - 0.001%

      Water is an essential part of the human body. Water makes up about 90% of the body's weight. Blood, lymphatic fluids, digestive enzymes and other bodily fluids have water as their main constitution. This is true for every biological life form on earth, as most are composed primarily of water. Water regulates the body's temperature, lubricates joints, flushes bodily wastes from the body and acts as a shock absorber for many of the body's vital organs. The amount of water required each day by an adult human varies by age, weight, sex, environment and physical activity. The average male will need to take in approximately 3.17 quarts of water per day, the average female 2.32 quarts. Water can be consumed as a liquid or in food.

      Water as a liquid

      Water exists as a liquid from the temperatures of thirty-two degrees to 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Water below thirty-two degrees will freeze and turn into a solid. Over 212 degrees and it will boil and turn to steam, a vapor.

      Water as a Gas

      Liquid water turns to a gas, called water vapor, by a process called evaporation. Heat is necessary for evaporation to occur. Water evaporates rapidly at its boiling point of 212 degrees Fahrenheit, turning to steam as the molecules separate and escapes into the atmosphere. The lower the temperature, the slower the evaporation rate, thus water at the freezing point evaporates very slowly. Water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into clouds as tiny droplets of water combine with fine dust, smoke or salt in the atmosphere. When the water vapor reaches a state of saturation, the droplets can fall as precipitation, thus driving the water cycle. The saturation point, or dew point, is reached when the air temperatures reach a point that is below the temperature needed for the water vapor to remain
