Understanding Earth's Water Resources
Earth's surface is
mainly covered by
water, with
approximately 71% of
the planet's surface
covered by it.
Out of this vast water resource, only 3% is
freshwater that can be used by humans.
The watercycle is a continuous natural
process involving the evaporation of water
from various water bodies, cloud formation,
precipitation, and water returning to these
bodies, ensuring its renewability.
Understanding Earth's Water Resources
Freshwater sources primarily include
surface runoff and groundwater, which are
part of the Earth's water cycle.
