Creation, evolution and existence of life on Earth has been made possible due only to presence of one naturally occurring organic liquid — water — that makes our Earth something unique in the universe. Water, the sole chemical substance occurring naturally in all its threeJorms on this planet, is critically examined in the light of life and environment on Earth.

Abstract


Creation, evolution and existence of life on Earth has been made possible due only to presence of one naturally occurring organic liquid — water — that makes our Earth something unique in the universe. Water, the sole chemical substance occurring naturally in all its threeJorms on this planet, is critically examined in the light of life and environment on Earth.
