How much water we have in the world


We got 20 litres of water and tipped it into buckets and pretended that it was all the water

in the world. Most of it was sea water, second to last was ice in Antarctica and deep underground, last was drinking water - out of 2 big buckets of water only 3 teaspons of that water is drinkable.
97.5% of our water is in the oceans and seas.2% of our water is in the ice and deep underground.Only 0.5% of our water is drinkable.

Water is precious, especially drinking water and we have to look after it and use it wisely.

On Earth in India and Africa there isn't much fresh water to drink.

Hello Room 8

Isn't that fascinating. If water is so precious how can we make sure we use it in the best way possible?
