There are conflicting views regarding whether water is the most important or other resource are more important natural resources to a country. This essay will discuss both sides of the argument and followed by own perspective on this matter.

Those who advocate that water is the most important resource a country can have may put forth the following argument. For individuals, there is no doubt that water plays an indispensable role in supporting human life: it helps our body to function properly so that we can survive. For society, the agriculture industry needs a great amount of water to irrigate the fields of crops. Without sufficient water, individuals' health can be at deadly risk, and it becomes impossible to grow anything to eat. Therefore, water is considered as the most important resource to a nation.

Nevertheless, those who think there are other resources more important to a country can also justify their opinions. The price of a unit of oil or gold is much higher than water. If a country possesses a great amount of this kind of natural resource, the government can sell it to whom have less at a rather higher price and make a bigger profit, which can be seen in a lot of countries in the middle east area whose governments are very wealthy through selling their fossil oil. Whereas, water is a much cheaper resource so that a waterless country can just purchase it.

In my opinion, though other natural resources have a more competitive price in the market and a country can sell them in return for big financial benefits, they are not the fundamental needs of individuals. By contrast, no one can survive without enough water, which has made it the most important natural resource anywhere.
