ABSTRACT
This world in which we are in is characterized by a multitude
of natural phenomena. It is a world of change, of movement and
energy; of storms, earthquakes, cosmic rays and solar flares. The
range and complexity of these changes is so great, that it would
seem the height of foolishness to attempt to find a common trend,
or a theme that runs through them all. Never the less, men have
come to the understanding of the factors involved. At the heart of
such a science is the concept of energy, the capacity to do work..
There is a close link between the per capita consumption of energy,
and the state of physical advancement of a Nation. Thus if the
energy consumed per person in a Nation is very high, more
industries are working, which leads a strong Nation..
The measure of the development of a nation is therefore by
implication, the level of her Technological Advancement viz a-viz
energy consumption. If a Nation is so developed that she can
produce motor cars for example, other nations will buy from her,
thereby bringing in foreign exchange. If a nation can produce
certain chemicals which she needs for herself, then there will be no
need to import these chemicals. We are not talking about chemicals
for warfare, however as the topic suggests , we are building up not
destroying or defending as the case may be. Water is essential to

life. Medically 50% or more of the body consists of water. Every
individual must take water to survive. We can survive for a few
weeks without food but not water. The water must be treated to
avoid water borne diseases. Hence the end users of water treatment
chemicals abounds.
