Water

Without water, life could not exist. Because water is essential to all life, we must manage it intel­ligently and carefully. We think there's plenty of it—in oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams. It may even seem as though we have more water than we need.

Water is essential to people in more ways than you might think. We need water for cooking, bathing, transportation and recreation. We eat aquatic plants and animals. We use water to irrigate our crops, and to manufacture products.

Most of the water on earth - 97 percent - is salt­water stored in oceans. Only about three percent of the earth's water is fresh water—and most of that is locked up in ice caps and glaciers.

There will never be any more water on earth than there is now. The same water is simply recycled over and over again. Just think—the water we are using now is the very same water that the dinosaurs used millions of years ago.
