Water is not something that can be created or destroyed. Because of that, the level of water found on Earth has remained constant since the beginning. The planet is 70% water but only 2% of that is water that we require to survive – fresh water. That 2% is not very easily accessible or useable either. Much of that 2% is in the air around us or has been frozen and saturated into the soil; it is water that people will never be able to reach or use for their own use. The amount of fresh water available for use is so small that a one gallon jug of the world’s water would see less than a teaspoon of water that people can use!
