what impact does water have?

I think this mostly depends on where you live.

Concrete can affect the ph of soil and water that it comes in contact with. The larger the body of water, the less potential effect.

There's a formula in this article:\nhttp://www.naturodoc.com/library/nutrition/water.htm

Water is important to all living things. Up to 60% of the human body is water, the brain is composed of about 70% water, blood is 82% and the lungs are nearly 90% water. Water is the principal constituent of the fluid that surround and are within all living cells. (Nutrition Almanac) Only oxygen is more important than water in sustaining life.\n\nThe body needs to remain sufficiently hydrated, otherwise all organs begin to shut down.\n\nFor more info, see:\n\nhttp://www.oxy.cc/

You need to concentrate your answer in the following areas:\n\n1) The effect of oceanic circulation.\n2) The role of water vapour as a greenhouse gas.\n3) The role of water as ice and cloud in increasing albedo\n4) The role of water in oxygen production, and hence the effect of oxygen on climte.\n5) The effect of life on albedo.\n6) The role of oceans as heat sinks and atmospheric buffers.\n\n\nWater also has a lot of small scale effects on climate of course, but I'm assuming you really do mean global climate.\n\n\n\n>>>>> countries which are surroended by large bodies\n>>>>> of water have more amount of rainfall than those \n>>>>> countries who are surrounded by land.\n\nNot at all. Australia and the Galapagos islands for example are surrounded by large bodies of water and both are primarily desert. Likewise Antarctica is surrounded by large bodies of water and is the driest place in Earth.\n\nIn contrast Switzerland and Paraguay are both completely landlocked countries that recieve large amounts of rainfall.\n\nWhile it is very broadly true that rainfall decreases with distance from the coastline there is ismply no way to extend this to making comparisons between countries or regions. Many coastal regions are far drier than many central continental regions. Ther are just  too many factors at play to make generlistaions about the effects of oceans on rainfall.

There's actually a number of reasons why water does that. Yes, cooler or warmer water can come in and make water differ in temperature in different parts of the body of water. Another reason is that water takes a lot longer to cool or heat than many other things like the earth. The depth of the water makes an impact also. The sun's rays passing through the water faster at different depths heat water when it's not as deep.

Okay...\n\nFor starters, water is H2O. We can make H2O by burning hydrogen gas in the presence of oxygen, easy, but then where would we get enough hydrogen gas to make even a noticeable amount of water? Besides, the problem isnt finding H2O--it's producing clean water. Most of our planet is under water, and there's tons of water vapor in the air. The difficulty is getting a large source of water where peole live, purifying it, and keeping it clean until it gets to people's homes.\n\nThe shortages in your area may be because there's just no ready source of water there, or because your community uses way too much of it. Environmental stuff like seasons play a part, too. There's usually less water in reservoirs during summer because of the decreased rainfall and increased evaporation.\n\nSometimes science isn't the problem. We already have more than enough technological remedies for every little inconvenience. Start conserving water, and you won't have to worry about shortages.

hydrogen, oxergen, minerals, baceria... depends what water your drinkig.

pollution can cause poisonous run off, and destroy the habitat of water animals, it would also hurt the animals who drink from the water source. It causes smog, its very bad to breath, with all of the pullution building uo it traps heat in earths atmosphere, causing global warming, the planet heats up. theres also alot of other tihngs.

Cohesion of water. Water that leaves through the leaves drags some water with it up from the roots.

Water is a constant in the planet, it does not change, meaning water as a whole volume.  What does change is water in its different forms.  The water cycle continues as always and rainfall together with snowfall are the sources of fresh drinking water.  Before it reaches the oceans this fresh water is stored as ice, snow, lakes, running rivers, underground water that seeped under.  Man and Nature is changing all this the global warming is melting the ice, the snows that were water deposits to be released in Spring are lower and lower because there is less snow, the rivers and lakes still exist but have been tapped to be used and what has not been tapped is continually being polluted by man, underground water has also been tapped like in the middle states of the US, tapped with total disregard to the replenishing rates these underground reserves need, thus have been or are being exausted, other underground reserves are being rendered useless again by man's pollution.  As a result earth's fresh water availability is progressively less and less.  Man knows this, it is no mistery,  but mankind is manking and so we continue the trend each day that goes by.

An irrigation system waters a field of crops from a well or other source.  The adverse effect on the environment comes from the run off, the excess water that doesn't absorb into the ground.  It eventually runs into streams or lakes and the fertilizer that had been put down on the crops earlier is washed into the water ways along with the runoff.  Also the dirt can be washed out also, if the water is put down too heavy.

figure the bottom, the top gets fed more water as it flows down river by rain, the bottom gets its water from runoff - the effect of the rain up-stream.

The main cause of disturbances in water pH levels is non-point source pollution.  The following is quoted from the EPA's "Polluted" brochure, brochure number EPA-841-F-94-005, and explains how non-point source pollution in general effects water and the environment.\n\n*******\nPolluted Runoff:\nWhat is Nonpoint Source (NPS) Pollution?\n...\nNonpoint source (NPS) pollution, unlike pollution from industrial and sewage treatment plants, comes from many diffuse sources. NPS pollution is caused by rainfall or snowmelt moving over and through the ground. As the runoff moves, it picks up and carries away natural and human-made pollutants, finally depositing them into lakes, rivers, wetlands, coastal waters, and even our underground sources of drinking water.\n...\nStates report that nonpoint source pollution is the leading remaining cause of water quality problems. The effects of nonpoint source pollutants on specific waters vary and may not always be fully assessed. However, we know that these pollutants have harmful effects on drinking water supplies, recreation, fisheries, and wildlife.\n*******

What benefit are you talking about? Your body will be flushing out toxins, so you will get healthier, but that isn't a benefit you can see. Drinking more water will make your skin healthy and soft, which should be noticeable in two-weeks. You will start to lose a few pounds in a month.

Since 70% to 75% of the Earth's surface is water, I would think it would make less of an impact than if they were just left on land.  There are so many billions of ocean creatures that would flourish off the food supply that would be provided by such a terrible catastrophe.

Nothing.  Except have a lower water volume due to warmer water molecules converting to gas.  However, the warmer water may have an efffect on the plants you are studying.  If you water a plant with hot water it may kill the plant.
