Before entering the principal problems of the Jawi River Festival , let me to provide a story about the relevance of the existence of the
birth day of water first. Because the principal problems that will be delivered
by the author later related closely about it.
In ancient times before the existence of the tool ground
transportation such as motorcycles and cars increased, people in the city of
Pontianak were still using water transportation. The traditional means of
transportation became one of the modes of transport which are relied upon in
the world including our beloved country called Indonesia.
Water is the heart for the operations of the wheels of the
economy in the ancient times, other than that
from the date of December 22,
1992 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. World Water Day is celebrated it aims to
motivate the public to give its support in water conservation by reducing the
use of tap water throughout the day. Joint UN Country members who celebrate
this campaign implements the recommendations of the UNITED NATIONS to promote
water conservation globally through real action.
The campaign is specifically promoted by one UN agency each
year with engaging the public to listen to and understand about water issues as
well as coordination with international activities for World Water Day. Since
the beginning of the celebration of this event, UN-Water has been responsible
for selecting the theme of World Water Day, and to convey the message of global
and leading the UN agency to celebrate World Water Day.
Water (H2O) is essential for all living things especially
for human life. A diverse range of human activities is always associated with
water, such as washing, bathing, and drinking. In the shelter, people also need
water.
Water as a solvent mixture of cement and sand so that the building
stands firmly. Just imagine, what would happen if the mixture of cement and
sand without the presence of water. Without water, cement and sand can not form
properly. For human beings, water can never be replaced by other compounds.
The human body is composed of 65% water and approximately 47
litres of water are present in adults. Daily 2.50 a litre of water should be
replaced with new water. Estimated from a number of water that must be
replaced, the 1.5-liter comes from drinking water and about 1 liter comes from
the food that is consumed. With satisfy water needs, then the entire metabolic
processes in the human body can take place smoothly.
Conversely, if the water shortage, then the process of
metabolism is disrupted, the human body can be dehydrated.
