Water

1. Communities conserve freshwater

1.1. Keep our water clean

1.2. Free of contamination

1.3. Harvesting rainwater

1.4. Use less

2. Not good ways to increase freshwater

2.1. Desalination

2.1.1. It requires a lot of energy and produces a very salty by-product as a result of talking the salt out of the water.

3. Very little freshwater resources

3.1. Accessible to humans

3.1.1. 1%

3.2. Ocean Water (Salt Water)

3.2.1. 97%

3.3. Locked in glaciers, ice caps and not accessible

3.3.1. 2%

3.4. Freshwater

3.4.1. 3%

4.3. Precipitation

4.3.1. The return of water from the atmosphere to Earth's surface in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

4.4. Ground water

4.4.1. Fresh water found below Earth's surface

4.5. Run-Off

4.5.1. Water that flows over land and collects in a stream

4.6. Infiltration

4.6.1. Process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil

4.7. Radiation
