Water Have you ever been told you need to drink water and stay hydrated? Yes, water is essential and very important to us. There are about 300 million trillion gallons of water on Earth. That is 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water. So it should be easy to keep drinking and staying hydrated with all that water available? Right? Well, most of the water on Earth is in the oceans, and we can only use about 3% of the water. Out of the 3%, we can really only use 1% because the other 2% is frozen in glaciers or hidden underground. That makes you really wonder Is there enough water for us to use forever?

Scientists say that we will actually never run out of water. Why is that? Well, water changes form and actually is recycled through the water cycle. However, if we are not careful, we can pollute or harm water with dangerous chemicals and other pollutants. When that happens it is extremely hard to ever recover and reuse that water.

So that really has you thinking now. What can we do to have an abundance of water forever? We need to take care of our water. We need to continue to be water wise. It is important to remember not to waste, pollute or destroy our natural resources. So next time you are drinking a cup of water remember how important it is to your survival.
