“Water Water Everywhere…..”
As the below image illustrates, very little water on this planet is available for human consumption. Understanding this is critical as is the need for conservation. The information and links below will educate and explain ways you can conserve water and provide links to other sites that will explain in more detail just how valuable and rare this resource is.
Where is the Earth’s water located?
- 97.24% of water is salt water.
- 2.15% of water is frozen in the icecaps and glaciers.
- .61% of water is in groundwater supplies
- The rest is in lakes, rivers, air and the soil.
- Less than 1 percent can be used for drinking purposes.
- Almost ½ of the world’s population does not have access to clean water.
