Another 30.1% is found deep
underground as groundwater.

The last 1.2% is found in
lakes, rivers,
swamps,
and in the
atmosphere.
Why is fresh
water so
much more
important to
our survival
than
saltwater?
Why is fresh
water so
important to
life?
We need
freshwater to
survive. A human
can go without
food for about 3
weeks, but that
same human could
only survive
without water for
3-4 days.
Freshwater is
essential for life.

Happy learning!
John 4:14 - But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give
him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in
him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
