The Earth is sometimes referred to as the “Water Planet” as it appears from outer space.
So, you might ask, what’s the problem? 70% of the planet is covered in water!
Of this 2.5%, nearly 70% is locked in glaciers and another 30% is deep below the ground!
Only .4% is readily accessible on the surface.
