For many countries, a drop of water may be meaningless.  However, for arid and semi-arid countries that experience hot weather, like many places in Africa and to a lesser extent Malta, a drop of water can make the difference between life and death for many life forms.  Many plants and small animals, some of them which may be very rare and near extinction manage to survive with very low amounts of water.  It is thus very important not to waste and contaminate this precious resource.  All of us should make an effort to save on water use!
