water is a universal solvent(it is neutral)
if it isnt neutral and might have been acidic or basic u could hurt ur hands while washing or bathing!!!

it isnt sticky..!(wont it sound horrible to have everything stuck on u as soon as u return home drenched in rain??)

it has lots of good properties in it if u r beauty consious..

besides,ice is another form of water and u cant have the world frozen all the time as metabolic activities wont happen faster in ur body and u ll take time to digest wht u have eaten..!

u cant even have water in the form of steam all over the world..its hot and a jet of steam can damage ur tisues pretty well and its hot all over..then u need air conditioner all over and as a result of the CFC's it relises,u damage ozone layer and again,suffer from skin disases and cancers..

each property is useful in its own way..

hence,world would surely be diff without these properties..

One of the most unique properties is that water expands near the freezing point. Most other molecules stay the same or shrink as they approach their point of solidification. This property causes microscopic disruptions in the soil - creating air pockets -for plant roots to aquire nutrients. It allows rocks to slowly become porous and then crumble during repeated freeze-thaw cycles...

One thing I'm suprised no one has mentioned yet is the fact that water takes the shape of whatever it is contained in. It's a very obvious fact, but it plays an important role in everyday life. What would life be like if when you went to pour yourself a glass of water, it stacked up in random areas of the glass rather than conformed to the glass shape eh?

One of the most important interesting properties of water is that frozen water (ice) is less dense than liquid water. This is why ice floats....
