There are many things that could happen in your dreams, but what if this happened in real life? What if you were stuck on an island by yourself with no one to help, how would you survive, would you? Water, its the most important thing in life, you need it for everything. After all, Earth is covered with water, but 97.5% of it is saltwater, and the remaining 2.5% is fresh water (Holbrook). According to "How Long Can You Live Without Water?," the human body is made of 65% water, which means humans are especially vulnerable to dehydration, so if the conditions at room temperature were right with no food, it is very possible you could last as long as 12 days in the the right conditions, although a more likely estimate would be around 3-5 days without water (“How Long”). So if you were stranded on an island your number one priority would be to locate water, but what do you do if you can 't locate a freshwater lake or pond? There are many different techniques you can do to get water, the first way is just
The article “The Island in the Wind” written by Elizabeth Kolbert shows that an island can generate clean electricity for its entire population, and hopes the world can too. On the Danish island of Samso lives a population of people who have learned the importance of their environment. In a decade they have switched from being an entirely coal and fossil fuel run island, to producing all of their energy from wind on their own island. Not only are they producing all of their energy yet they are yielding so much that they can export energy to other areas. “ By 2001, fossil-fuel use on Samso had been cut in half. By 2003, instead of importing electricity, the island was exporting it, and by 2005 it was producing from renewable sources more energy

Current medical findings show that being well hydrated is one of the most important factors for good health. One can survive for a few (highly unpleasant) weeks without food, but only four to five days without water.
Recently today a navy ship driving in the Pacific Ocean discovered smoke in the air. The ship went to it and when they got on the island discovered there were 6 kids attempting to kill each other. The navy stopped the boys and got them off the island to safety. The kids were later identified as Rodger, Sam, Eric, Jack, Ralph, and Maurice.

After speaking to all of the survivors we learned the entire story of what happened.

Water is the central well being of people and this planet. Life without water is hard to imagine. It’s hard to believe that people around the world live without water. John Thorson once said “Water links us to our neighbor in a way more profound than any other.” The substance that consumes nearly 75% of earth may become contaminated in more areas than we could ever imagine.
Along with food, water has always been one of life's essentials. Humans can survive up to three weeks without food but only a matter of three days without water and the adverse effects of dehydration can be noticed within hours. Despite the risks involved with obesity and its enormous hold on the American population, individuals have a tendency to forget about the importance of water when trying to maintain a healthy diet. Water is the single most
Water is one of the most important elements on Earth and also for our body. We need water to work and function properly and well. Without enough supply of water, our body will grind to a halt and collapse.
Now lets look at the year 2020. Technology has improved drastically. Self-driving cars are no longer a thing of the future. They had been around for a few years and were now becoming more readily available. People had nearly anything they could ever desire at the touch of a screen. The internet was an enormous benefit to society for knowledge but also contributed to such horrendous downfall. Everything was touch screen. Food was not what it appeared to be. They often contained more chemicals than actual foods. Our bodies were eroding from the inside out. All of the chemicals that we had been ingesting over the last seventy years began to cause physical harm to our digestive systems. We had to be proscribed antibiotics
North American Tax Agency saw potential benefits of data warehouse. Hence the wanted to execute it and submitted their proposal with an estimation of three to five years and costs ranging from $25-30 million.

Comprising over seventy percent of the Earth's surface, water is undeniably the most valuable natural resource. Life on Earth would be non-existent without water because it is essential for everything on our planet to grow. The human body is composed of 50-80% water. Blood and muscles contain significant amounts, and approximately 95% of the brain is water. All body systems and organs need water to function properly, and will shut down without it. Most of the chemical reactions that take place in our body need water as their medium. We can live without food for a few weeks, but can survive only a few days without water. It's essential because unlike other nutrients, water isn't stored in the body. Typically, everyday, we lose around 10
Water is probably the most important resource we as people have. Humans can survive without food for several weeks, but without water we would die in less than a week. On a slightly less dramatic note, millions of liters of water are needed every day worldwide for washing, irrigating crops, and cooling industrial processes, not to mention leisure industries such as swimming pools and water-sports centers. Despite our dependence on water, we use it as a dumping ground for all sorts of waste, and do very little to protect the water supplies we have.
