Mission Briefing

Before you begin your mission to save planet Earth’s water supply, you must first learn more about our water supply!

DROP IN A BUCKET (TBC)

You’re probably already familiar with the Water Cycle story, and how all the water on Earth is constantly being recycled through Precipitation, Evaporation and Condensation. The purpose of today’s training is to understand the difference between fresh drinking water and the world’s water supply.

Only a small percentage of the water on earth is drinkable. Answer these three questions to learn more.

Question 1

What percent of Earth’s surface is covered in water?

Question 2

What percent of Earth’s water can we drink?

Question 3

What percentage of people on Earth do NOT have access to clean drinking water?

As you have discovered, even though water seems to be everywhere, the usable water available to us is very limited – like a drop in a bucket - so it’s important that we all play our part in water conservation.
