Water facts by Shivya Arora

1. National Geographic magazine has noted that the world has, to the drop, the same amount of fresh water it had when time began.
2. Meanwhile, fresh water makes up only 2.8 percent of the water on the planet, and two thirds of that is ice.
3. The rest is in the form of salt water, and desalination technology is too costly to use in most parts of the world.
4. Clearly, as demand for treated water increases, so does the need for leadership in the business of treating, managing, recycling and conserving the world's water.
