The Water Problem Water is the most amazing fluid on earth, and yet we take it for such granted that no one gives it a moments thought. It isn’t just the “cool” facts about water that make it intriguing; such as the fact it is one of the only substances that exists in three states, being liquid, solid and gas without needing extreme temperatures to create each state. Water for instance is the only natural substance found in all three physical states at the temperatures that naturally occur on Earth. But water is much more than “some wet stuff” we use to drink, cook and bathe. Studies have shows that water actually has a form of memory. Water can dissolve more substances in it than any other material known to man. Water is somewhat unique as it is one of the very few materials that increases in volume as it freezes. By expanding in volume by up to 9%, the density of water in its solid state is lower than it is in its liquid state. This gives ice the ability to float.
