Happy Water Day, World! We drink it. We swim in it. We inhale it with the air we breathe, and exhale it when we sleep, when we talk, when we laugh, when we stand outside on a cold night watching the stars, our breath made visible. We sail on it, ski on it and whitewater raft on it. We are, to a large extent, made of it. On World Water Day, we pay tribute to the most wondrous of all elements — the poetically named dihydrogen monoxide.
