Earth's Freshwater Crisis

By Gail Parman

Many people believe fresh water is easy to come by. However, there is a limited supply of this resource on our planet. All living things depend on water, but more than 1 billion people worldwide lack daily access to water that is safe and clean enough to use and drink. Some water is contaminated with water-borne diseases, and in some places, such as desert regions, there simply isn't any water for people. This guide to a pressing environmental issue explores the causes of Earth's freshwater crisis and ways young people can help by being more mindful of water availability and their own personal water use.
