Did you know?

Did you know that only 2.5% of Earth's water is fresh water? The majority of the Earth's water is saltwater, making fresh water a precious resource. Saltwater intrusion can have a significant impact on the water supply. It causes saltwater to mix with freshwater, decreasing the amount of usable drinking water. This intrusion can also lead to over-pumping of water, further depleting the freshwater resources. As the population grows, water resources face challenges. The increasing demand for water puts pressure on the aquifers, which are not recharged as quickly. This can lead to a decrease in the availability of water for various uses. Low precipitation levels are a major cause of drought. When there is a lack of rainfall, water sources such as lakes, rivers, and groundwater reserves are not replenished adequately, resulting in water scarcity and drought conditions. Remember, these facts may still be accurate in 2023 or may have changed. Keep exploring to stay up-to-date with the latest information on our planet's water resources.
