Importance of freshwater

- More than two-thirds of the earths surface is covered in water.
- Accessible fresh water accounts for less than one-tenth of 1 percent of all earth's water.
- people have tapped half of these freshwater sources already.
- unfortunately fresh water Is rarely found where it is needed most.
- 97% of liquid fresh water is stored underground in aquifers( a body of permeable rock that can contain and transmit groundwater)
- these aquifers are being depleted faster than they can be recharged
- between 5 and 10 million people (mostly children) die each year from water related illness
