Where Is All The Water?
Seriously folks, where is all the water? If you're from Texas, or any other state in the union for that matter, you probably haven't seen any rain in 6 months. While the following chart has nothing to do with the weather or droughts in our area, it is an informative tool on the scarcity of fresh and salt water. It's astonishing.
You would be surprised to learn that 97.5% of the earth's water is made up of salt, and the other 2.5% is Freshwater. Furthermore, most freshwater is unattainable, meaning... we have no way of getting it, because 70% of the 2.5% of freshwater is frozen in polar icecaps. The news gets even more grim, another 30% of the 2.5% of freshwater available is underground, which is too expensive to tap into, and filter. So we're left with only a mere 1% of the world's freshwater that is available for human consumption.

But I just love my water. Sucks to know that only 1% is consumable.
