For what we can use water?

Drinking Water: Some regions have places called desalination plants, which extract the minerals and salt from seawater and turn it into drinking water.
Tourism: The sea and the cost have become a resource for tourism. They attract large number of visitors and create many jobs
Waterways: Oceans and seas are used as waterways to transport people and commercial goods.
Energy Source: Oil and gas are found under the sea. Scientists are looking for ways to turn the force of tides and waves into energy.
Food: Aquaculture is the farming of ocean plants and animals. Fish farming is the raising of fish and shellfish on special farms.
