Hydrosphere occupies 71% of the earths surface. It contains water chiefly in its liquid form, and also in solid form(i.e. floating ice-bergs), which is a source of fresh water on earth. Water is chiefly confined in ponds, lakes, rivers, seas n oceans.

The five importance of water can be summed up as follows:

1. It provides water for drinking.

2. water is also required for irrigation in rainfall deficit areas.

3. hydrosphere plays an important role in maintaining the global water cycle and bringing precipitation through the process of water cycle.

4. aquatic bodies plays a great role in our ecosystem by supporting several aquatic floral n faunal life.

5. it acts as a global pollution sink, and dissolves several pollutants which are present in the atmosphere.
