Water is the most important element for life. People is made of a 70% of water, and the Earth too. Water makes approximately 80% of the brain and is an essential element in neurological transmissions.Children/young people should drink around 1.5 litres of water each day. This is approximately 6 to 8, 200ml glasses. Also, water is the universal solvent , since it has a large capacity  to dissolve substances. Even  can dissolves almost all solid bodies.
Water has been used since antiquity as a symbol by which to express devotion and purity. Some cultures, like the ancient Greeks, went as far as to worship gods who were thought to live in and command the waters. Whole cities have been build by considering the location and availability of pure drinking water. The place of gathering was around the wells, which is perhaps the following trend in building fountains in the middle of squares.
