Treat Water Well and Protect Fresh Water

Treat water well because less than 1 percent of the world’s water is fresh and about 70 percent of Earth is water. The cycle explains evaporation condensation precipitation and rivers returning water to oceans.

Surface water supplies most of our drinking water

Surface water provides about 78 percent of the water we use, drawn from lakes, rivers, streams and ponds. Ground water accounts for about 22 percent and comes from underground reservoirs in aquifers, accessed by drilling or digging.

Water Uses Across Sectors Include Power and Industry

Water serves in manufacturing mining and intensive users such as homes hotels and offices. It also fuels thermoelectric power by producing steam to generate electricity, underscoring its role across sectors.
