The world has a fair amount of water, but most of it is undrinkable to humans. Most of the water on earth is salt water, and humans can’t drink that. What is the world’s current freshwater situation? The world’s freshwater supply is thinning out, and humans aren’t being careful with the precious amount of water that remains. The world may not have as much freshwater as one might think it does. 70% of the world is water (National Geographic). Of that 70%, only 2.5% of that is fresh (National Geographic).Even then, most of that 2.5% is not easily accessible (National Geographic). In the next 10 years, an estimated 1.8 billion people will be living in water scarcity (National Geographic).
