The amount of water in the world is limited. Humans and the other species on earth cannot expect that the earth will have an everlasting supply of water. Water covers about two-thirds of the Earth's surface but most is too salty for use and the world's supply of fresh water is running out. Already one person in five has no access to safe drinking water .Only 2.5% of the world's water is not salty, and two-thirds of that is locked up in the icecaps and glaciers. About 20% is in remote areas, and much of the rest arrives at the wrong time and place, as monsoons and floods. Humans have available less than 0.08% of all the Earth's water. Yet over the next two decades our use is estimated to increase by about 40%.
