Solution 1
Title: Water – The Elixir of Life
Author: Sir CV.Raman
Theme: Water exists in all plant and animal forms.
“World without water is unimaginable”
According to Sir C.V. Raman, water is the basis of life. Every animal or plant contains a substantial proportion of free or combined water in its body. No kind of physiological activity is possible in which the fluid does not play an essential part. Water is necessary for animal life.
Moisture in the soil is equally imperative for the life and growth of plants and trees. But the quantity necessary varies largely with the species. Much of our agriculture also depends on seasonal rainfall and is therefore very sensitive to any failure or irregularity of the same. Thus water is the elixir of all life.
“No life is without water
To save water is a serious matter”.
