Why Care About Water?

There is the same amount of water on Earth today as there was when the dinosaurs roamed. And just less than one percent of the planet's water is available to meet the daily drinking water, sanitation and food needs of nearly 7 billion people and millions of other species. Learn more about water in all its forms and how you can make a difference.

why all this videos have people saying "this is the liberal media"?and that this are all lies.? why all this videos have americans saying that we shoudl get rid of people living in 3rd world countries.

i have news for you, the truth is the truth no matter wehere it comes from and if it scares you, too bad.if we had to kill people so the rest can live, the best idea, will be to get rid of uber consumer americans who think they are entitled to the resources of the rest of us and dont really care.

I know so many ignorant people, who STILL erroneously believe that we will never run out of fresh water. Why people aren't believing that FRESH water is a limited resource is beyond me.

@solja239 why?

[odinmp5]

@jeremiah1499 good point. problem is the recycling process can take too much time and most nations cannot afford the artificial recylicng methods. so when you pollute all the water from a small town and it takes quite a while to recover, you get a change in ecosystems, you kill ald the wild life and that produces hunger thus violence. another scenarios are: changing streams, too much drinking water becoming salt water, e.t.c good question.
