Water is the key to life. Water is the key to civilization. Water is the key to culture. Issues of water had been discussed by many authors in many contexts. Water issues are mostly linked to its quality and quantity, because both these issues impact the human lives. Therefore, for natural reasons, there are many researches on these two issues. When we look at the quality and quantity of water, it is seen that it is deeply rooted in people's culture. There are also several literature on the cultural issues, water usages, and anthropological aspects of water.
