SAFEGUARDING OUR FRESH WATER

I FOUND THIS INFORMATION ON THE CONSERVATION INTERNATIONAL SITE...One might be as interested as I was in discovering the below info..... as of April/2011.

In all its forms, water shapes does nourish life on Earth. Human communities and the world's unique biodiversity both depend on clean, secure sources of fresh water. However, less than one percent of the Earth's fresh water flows freely and burgeoning human populations are making unsustainable demands on the vital resource. Demand for fresh water is already outstripping supply in many regions around the world. Both biodiversity and human communities are at risk; an estimated one out of every six people on Earth has no access to clean drinking water; two out of six people lack adequate sanitation; and four out of six are afflicted by water-home illinesses!
The degradation and decline of fresh water resources is now far too prevalent to be ignored. With the human population expected to increase to 9 billion by 2050 and with much of that growth happening in developing countries, the global fresh water crisis is only going to get worse!!
