". Mr President, water is enormously important for our planet and its inhabitants. It is an essential precondition for the functioning of living organisms. We need it in the household, in factories and in agriculture. A sufficient supply of water determines where we can live, produce and sow food crops. It constitutes about two thirds of the human body, which cannot survive more than 12 days without taking in water. According to Leonardo Da Vinci, a genius who was several generations ahead of his time, 'Water was given the magical power to be the sap of life on Earth'. There is not, however, an unlimited amount of water on the Earth. Our consumption requirements are growing with increasing social development. As no new water is created on the Earth, with the same water going round in an endless cycle, we must learn to manage it more rationally, protecting its purity and quality. The legislative pressure for stricter protection of water sources, ensuring the necessary access to drinking water for all and strictly regulating the efficient management of water in production sectors, is therefore a justified and important measure for limiting the waste of this precious and life-giving liquid."@en1
