Planet Earth's Water
The next time you turn on your water faucet, think about this ....
Approximately 97% of the earth's water is salt water, of the remaining 3% fresh water most of it is frozen in the polar icecaps and glaciers, present as soil moisture, or lies in deep underground aquifers.
About 1% of the world's fresh water is readily accessible for human and ecosystem use.
It is found in lakes, rivers, reservoirs and in underground sources shallow enough to be tapped.
The annual replenishment of these water resources through rainfall and snow melt runoff
makes up the world's renewable water supply.
Therefore, our renewable water supply is entirely dependant on climate, and our climate is rapidly changing.
THINK ABOUT IT ...
HELP KEEP OUR GROUND WATER CLEAN
OUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT!
