DISTRIBUTION OF FRESH WATER ON EARTH - Niyati Gupta - 07-24-2014

Of the total water on earth only 3% constitutes freshwater. Rest is saline water in the oceans.

11% of the total freshwater on earth is groundwater available upto a
depth of 800m which can be extracted for use.

Mindless extraction and over exploitation of very small quantity of this
precious nature resource has caused a rapid depletion and deterioration
in its quantity and quality both.
