The Water Planet




This week, we have been talking about the importance of water to life on this planet. As we learned, about 70% of our planet is water. Of that only 2% of that water is ready for human consumption. Here is another interesting fact:




Less than 1% of that 2% (fresh water on the earth) is readily accessible for direct human use. In fact, millions of people die each year from drinking unsafe water. Read more about this problem by following the link below.








What are some creative solutions that might solve this water problem and reduce (or end) human suffering in the world related to water shortages?
