Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen and is essential for all known forms of life. Without there is no life. We need water to drink, to wash our hands, to cook, to water plants and many other things. Water is the most abundant liquid on Earth. It covers more than 70% of the earth’s surface. The earth’s supply of water is constantly being recycled. It is evaporated from the oceans by the sun and is given off by the forests. The vapor condenses into clouds, which rain out onto the land. The land water runs off into the lakes and rivers, which then run back to the seas, and the cycle is complete. The total amount of water on Earth, in the form of oceans, lakes, rivers, clouds, polar ice, etc.
Below are two reports that discuss the issues facing the water supply:
