Editor's Notes
- About 70% of the planet covered with water but 97% of this water is in the oceans unusable for drinking About 3% of the planet's water is fresh, but 1.6% is locked up in the polar ice caps and glaciers, another 0.36% is found underground in aquifers and wells Only about 0.036% of the planet's total water supply is found in lakes and rivers The rest of the water on the planet is either: floating in the air as clouds and water vapor, or is locked up in plants and animals
