Deep Insights from the Ministry of Irrigation

So today I was trying to access the National Irrigation Master Plan on the Tanzanian Ministry of Irrigation and Water website. I had hoped that I could access it through the FAQ link. But instead, I found there is only one frequently asked question for the Ministry of Irrigation. Copied verbatim below is the FAQ: http://www.maji.go.tz/info/faq.php


FAQs
What is water?

Water is a common chemical substance that is essential for the survival of all known forms of life. In typical usage, water refers only to its liquid form or state, but the substance also has a solid state, ice, and a gaseous state, water vapor or steam. Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface[1]. On Earth, it is found mostly in oceans and other large water bodies, with 1.6% of water below ground in aquifers and 0.001% in the air as vapor, clouds (formed of solid and liquid water particles suspended in air), and precipitation.[2] Saltwater oceans hold 97% of surface water, glaciers and polar ice caps 2.4%, and other land surface water such as rivers, lakes and ponds 0.6%. A very small amount of the Earth's water is contained within biological bodies and manufactured products. Other water is trapped in ice caps, glaciers, aquifers, or in lakes, sometimes providing fresh water for life on land.

Finally, the answer to my most pressing question in life. And with a source that would make any researcher proud - Wikipedia.

So our SWAHILI WORD OF THE DAY is maji = water.
