Water is essential to all life!
About 70% of the fat free mass of the human body is made of water. To function properly, the body requires between one and seven liters of water per day to avoid dehydration; the precise amount depends on the level of activity, temperature, humidity, and other factors.

There are so many reasons all having to do with unique properties of water that make life possible (most having to do with hydrogen bonding that water molecules are prone to do); at least as we know it here on earth.
One of the coolest properties (at least to me) is that water is less dense as a solid than it is as a liquid. Hows that important you say?
Well that means that solid water (ice) floats on liquid water. Very few substances are like that (most get more dense as they solidify). Since this happens, we get oceans and deep lakes. If this were not the case all of the water on earth would be frozen (ice would freeze and sink to the bottom where it would stay frozen forever) and only a few inches of the top of the ocean would liquify in the summer months. These deep bodies of water are the perfect place for life (again our kind of life) to develop.

water is a neccesary part of our body because it enables vitamins and other water soluble necessities to perform how they are supposed to.
