You are more than half WATER!

About 2/3 of our bodies are made of water.

The human body needs about 2 gallons of water each day to stay healthy (from drinks and food too).

People can live for weeks without food, but only a few days without water.

All living things on earth need water!

Earth: The "Water Planet"

The earth looks blue and white from space: the blue is water and the white is water vapor.

Most (2/3) of the earth's surface is covered with water.

Although water covers two-thirds of the earth's surface, over 99% of that water is unusable. The rest of the water? It is either too salty (97% is in the oceans) or frozen (2% is locked in ice caps and glaciers.) Less than 1% of the earth's water is available to be used by humans, plants, and animals.

There is no "new" water on Earth.

Today, we have the same amount of water as we did when the earth was formed.

Water moves from place to place, gets dirty and then gets cleaned. Your community waters get recycled again and again.

It is estimated that today, 250 million people are using the same water resources that 4 million people used only 200 years ago!
