Fresh water going?
Answer:
Well the earth has less than 1 percent of fresh water.
yes it is going because its melting,many climatologists are saying the same thing.They know for sure that if we don't start doing something now and take actions we (the world) will be fighting for more water supply by 2050 or even sooner if we can't slow down Global Warming.Because of Global Warming the water that comes from the glaciers that are melting we could RUN OUT of water.By that time we'll need alot of water because it will be MUCH more warmer over the next few decades.MY POINT:Don't litter or pollute,all that garbage then gets to the fresh streams and reservoir's that supply our water
That depends on your perspective, I suppose. Technically, fresh water is all around us, and in no shortage (speaking globally, of course). The polar ice caps are made of fresh water - the salt in ocean water does not freeze, it stays in the ocean and the pure water freezes. However, as the polar ice caps are slowly melting, the water goes back into the ocean and is no longer pure.
Pollution, nuclear tests and fallout from the 70's, pesticides and other wastes are slowly degrading the quality of fresh water in the United States and all other industrialized nations. Due to the sheer amount of water on earth and the amount that is constantly replenished through rain and snow, these pollutants are diluted enough that they generally pose no harm to humans, although there is evidence that concentrations of some of these chemicals can build up in the body over time and eventually become harmful.
So while fresh water is not technically going anywhere, it's quality is definitely going south.
Yeah, it's going, but whenever i ask it, it won't tell me where it's going.
That will just delude the salty water
