Umzimba wamanzi ngumzimba omkhulu wamanzi kwindalo. Kukho imizimba emiyo yamanzi efana namachibi kunye nolwandle. Kwamanye amanzi, amanzi ayaqukuqela, kanye njengasemilanjeni. Kodwa kukwakho namanzi aphantsi komhlaba: amanzi aphantsi komhlaba. Kukho umthombo apho amanzi aphantsi aphuma emhlabeni.
Amanzi aqukuqelayo endalo yimilambo, imisinga, imilambo, nemisinga. Umjelo yindlela yamanzi eyakhiwe ngabantu. Ngoko ngumlambo owenziweyo. Yonke imijelo yamanzi yimijelo yamanzi engaphakathi elizweni. Ngoko awuyonxalenye yolwandle.
Kukwakho nemithombo yamanzi angaphakathi emhlabeni apho amanzi ema khona. Abizwa ngokuba ngamanzi azolileyo. Ezi ziquka amachibi, amachibi kunye namachibi. Amadike okanye amadama akwayimithombo yamanzi. Nangona kunjalo, azihlali zizaliswe ngamanzi kwaye zome rhoqo. Uvimba lichibi elenziwe ngokwenziwa. Idama lakhiwe ukulungiselela le njongo. Uninzi lwamanzi angaphakathi elizweni anamanzi amatsha. Kodwa kukwakho namachibi anetyuwa, oko kukuthi amachibi angaphakathi emhlabeni anamanzi anetyuwa.
Ukongeza kumanzi angaphakathi, kukho iilwandle. Zijikeleze amazwekazi kwaye zidibene omnye komnye. Olona lwandle lukhulu lubizwa ngokuba ziilwandlekazi. Iilwandle zigubungela uninzi lwesijikelezi-langa sethu. Elwandle amanzi anetyuwa.
Amanzi amaninzi likhaya lezilwanyana nezityalo ezingenakubalwa. Baye baqhelana neentlobo ezahlukeneyo zemithombo yamanzi. Thina bantu sithatha amanzi okusela kwiiglasi ezininzi zamanzi angaphakathi kunye nemithombo. Yiyo loo nto kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba siwakhusele amanzi kwaye siqinisekise ukuba awangcoliseki.
Inzululwazi ephonononga imizimba yamanzi kumphezulu womhlaba yihydrology. Ezi nzululwazi ziingcali zamanzi. Eli binzana livela kwisiGrike kwaye lithetha "imfundiso yamanzi".
