Features: Some international rivers and boundary lakes in the world have seen ongoing disputes between countries or regions due to pollution, and even conflicts over water resources have become one of the roots of war. Conserving water and preventing water pollution are fundamental measures to address the water crisis. People must truly recognize that water is a precious resource and an irreplaceable one. Humanity must treat nature with kindness, protect natural ecosystems, cherish forests and grasslands, prevent soil erosion, and conserve water sources. We must strengthen the water cycle and reuse water, completely changing the wasteful use of water in industrial and agricultural production, and maximize the reduction of pollution to resources. By scientifically and rationally conserving and using water, we can build a water-saving society and ensure the sustainable development of human society, leading to a more prosperous future for humanity. This book discusses, in a broad sense, the distribution of water resources on Earth, including seawater, in terms of quantity, water cycle, and water balance. It elaborates on the physicochemical properties of water, an ordinary substance of immense importance to humanity, from various perspectives, thereby broadening our horizons and deepening our understanding of water. At the same time, it repeatedly emphasizes the preciousness of water resources, calling on people to conserve water, rationally develop and utilize water resources, prevent water pollution, and build a water-saving society to ensure the sustainable development of human society. This book is a highly beneficial popular science work for environmental protection and those concerned about environmental protection.
